Carbide runners

[Mr. Pump Gas]

Wondering what works well to either round them off with green wheel or put on a hardened steel set? Not sure how well these would last as we sometimes have to run some roads. Another words looking for a good all around set up. Haven't run a non carbide runner since I was a kid, will they handle ok on hardpack trails?

Thanks in Advance

Josh and I always run Studboy 6" shaper bars on our pros. Already installed on the Axys.

Just got back from a 30 mile trail ride with Alt Impact's titanium runners that are just round on the btm, no carbide or sharpened edge.

Was super happy about my decision to ditch the carbides, handled exactly the same as before, but we don't run much ice up here in the mtns

This is what I have been doing for the last 5 years.... Remove stock wear bar, heat up carbide with a torch to melt braze, tap with hammer and chisel to knock out the carbide inserts, hit with wire brush and fill in the 'V' groove with the MIG welder.

No more snagged rocks or lugs, all around safer mountain riding.

Has been working great, keeps my trailer floor, sled deck guides, driveway, sled dollies, shop floors in great condition. Eric

I just put on the hardened wear bars you can get from the polaris dealer. was $25 and easy to swap out.

Personally, I ride the mountains only and I like a good sharp carbide, especially for spring riding. This year is the first that I have really heard much discussion about not running carbides or grinding them down. I want my skis to bite hard. I have been running SLP Mohawks with 6" carbide 60 degree bars. I like how they work.

Carbides are dangerous off trail!

I'll take the carbides off as soon as I can, ended up in the ER last year due to a slow side-hilling sudden stop.... over the handlebars and landing on a rock...OUCH..broken rib and a whole lot of bruising.

Yes, I always put more aggressive ones one. The only time I noticed an issue sometimes crossing a bare road and trying to get going they may stick ad the track will spin on ice.

I never had an issue bending a spindle or arm because of carbide and at the end of the day where we ride a lot of times they are needed so I would rather bend something than be dead against a tree some where because I thought I would turn and the sled went straight.

Buddy of mine ran over a rock flush with the snow with one ski and it grabbed and whip the handle bars so hard and fast it broke his shoulder socket with carbides on....hard weld for me. Might be a little sketchy on icy trail but you just take it easy and slow down.

X3 on part number or link??? I see the alt impact ti bars but $135 is hard to bite to try it out

Here's wear bars and hards bars: I run the cheap ones and usually get a season out of them with no more trail riding then needed:

Crap I just noticed the hardbars are per pair and not much more than the wearbars.

I just ordered some hard bars from outdoorsuppyonline.com..... Sno-stuff brand, I believe. Jeff is jsledder on the forums. He has always been awesome to deal with.. and hasn't steered(hahaha, no pun intended) me wrong.

They aren't listed on his site. Just PM or email him. He usually responds quickly.
