Broken Hyfax and Rail(?)

[Mindstyle]

I hit a rock or stump under the snow yesterday while climbing some hills. I could feel the track hit something just not sure what it was. Looks like I broke the slide runner (Hyfax?) and cracked some of the thing metal strip on the rail (or is it slide) where it attaches. First off all, hopefully I'm using the correct terms to describe these parts, I'm still a noob and learning.

After doing some research it looks like the Hyfax is an easy enough replacement. I couldn't find much info about the rail though. What it will cost, where to buy, and how to replace. Any help would be appreciated. I have seen quite a few used parts for sale, would I need something specific to that model/year or would any IQ 155" rail work?

Pics would be helpful.

07-08 IQRaw rails are different from 09-10 (and newer?). As long as you replace as a pair either ones will work but the 09 and newer are a little lighter and better looking.

I believe i have a set of 09 155 rails I may be willing to part with, PM or email me if you need them.

I found a guy locally that's selling brand new rails from a '14 Pro 155. Would those fit if I bought both of them?

PRO rails will NOT fit the IQ. The mount points on the rails are different. I know I thought about doing the same thing and measured them. If you swap a complete PRO suspension into the IQ it will work, but not just rails. Changes in geometry...

As you can see the Hyfax is busted in half and the metal tab along the rail has separated

This is due to Riding in LOW SNOW ... Over heating hyfax Melting thru to the Alum rails.

You will need NEW Rails.. And Hyfax.. Both sides..

Its a good Idea to Run scratchers.. when using them right this wouldn't happen..
