Axys A-arms

[Visi]

We'll have a high clearance aluminum lower coming out soon with a matching upper too

Any updates?

I saw first hand an AI a arm bend with the joint still intact on an axys.

its kinda obvious that they wont give if you hit a tree or something straight on the a-arm. But if you hit a stone or something under the snow with your ski or spindle then you have a high chance that the joint will go before the a-arm.

It should be kinda obvious that we aren't talking about hitting the A arm itself when we are talking about the ball joint still being intact.

I like the idea of the replaceable ball joints. I smoked a rock with my '12 pro the other day, hit the ski and it bent my lower a-arm pretty good, would be nice to be paying $18 to replace instead of $240

My experience selling arms and talking with ton of people bending them is that the majority of all a-arm damage comes from contact with the ski. Not from physical damage to the arm itself from contact. The forces applied to the arm are what bends them...not a rock or tree.

Your buying your arms from the wrong guy if they are $240

Looks like backup arms are a good idea with these sleds. A lot of people with the stock arms are reporting that they are bending--maybe as designed and maybe not. The problem is the stock arms are back ordered with no date and the used ones are pretty pricy.


zbros and kmod are mainly the same price. I want a setup with all the hardware--pressing ball joints in an out on these is not fun. Learned this when we powder coated my stock arms.


In my mind, it came down too:


The zbros you can quickly swap a stock arm in.


The kmod has improved performance that has gotten a ton of rave reviews with the old pro.


I was really torn. Called Kevin at KMOD because I really wondered what Axys guys where saying. After a few minutes, decided to pull the trigger.
