Was currious if anyone has used/seen these air frames. Looking for comments on fit and finish as well as quality, bending ect. Any info good or bad would be appriciated.
I have an 06 rev and to make the rails at the end tip up like the artic cats and polaris's. I was going to customize some ones from Van Amburg for $141 and then add mod rods inserts for 183, a total of $325. Then I noticed these for $449. Are they worth the extra $125. Any thoughts?

Yep. If you can get over the price, they can't be beat.

If you go there you will love them. CMX is putting them on their sleds and they are light and strong. No more snow build up. Contact Mark at CMX. He might be able to order you a set with little or no back order.

I know a dealer that has a set in stock but I believe they are for an xp unless they are useable on another sled pm for info!

I've only had a couple of rides on my assault and I will never have another sled without airframes they are worth the money!! But you better get on the waiting list. I had mine ordered in July and got them in October.

i have better boards and my ridin buddy has air frames and there not even comparable when it come to snow build up. i think the air frames grip just a little better also. just for the snow clearing i think they're worth the money.

The best!

i have a set on my D8. I will never own a sled without them. Installed twice the amount of traction screws...well worth it. Awesome product. Worth the coin and the wait IMHO.

As said above wait and get a set. Hardest part for me was cutting the stock boards off and never turning back. It would be easy now, the difference is night and day.
Can't find them look here and give them a call to see if he has any in stock.

Skinz put alot of thought into manufacturing and designing these running boards they are ergonomically designed to allow a natural foot position. The last thing anyone wants while out on a trip is a foot being caught up resulting in a broken ankle or worse. They did alot of product testing on these boards before they felt they were finally at a point where they were ready to be put on the market. The slats are running at a 45 degree angle from the tunnel to allow for maximum amount of snow off the boards while at the same time allowing as much of your boot as possible to be in contact with the slats when your foot is in a forward position. The slats are angled out back to front, when riding in the wrong foot forward position your natural foot position is toe in towards the tunnel, the slat spacing like this will prevent your foot rolling into the gaps. You will notice that alot of boards on the market have the slats running at a 90 degree angle out from the tunnel the 45 degree angle dramatically cuts down the chance of a boot slipping into the gap. Their is a 2 inch gap between each slat. It is a fine line between allowing alot of snow off the boards while maintaining the structural integrity of the board and keeping the riders foot in a safe position.



Our December Pro boards are sold but we do have some coming in January without deposits we also have some XP boards coming in December that are available. In January we also have Nytro boards available without deposits.

but they are more than twice as strong, and built for how we ride...they are built assuming off foot forward...and assuming we are going to hammer on them... they are also built to ensure traction...whereas they flaws of the other styles increase stress points on the traction areas...i.e. at the bend...and will fatigue and crack over time...(I had another brands set on for 2 years and they had 4-5 cracks in them)

The bad... No one can buy them.

 

[M8Chris]

I love my airframes!! Can't imagine a sled without a pair now.
