Carbon fiber rear suspension with ti arms.

[carbontj]

We just finished making our new rear carbon fiber/ti arms and bolts skid for a RMK Polaris 155. Total weight savings is just under 13 lbs...I have pictures on our Patrick Custom Carbon Facebook site. The total rear suspension only weights 29 lbs 10 oz oz with Fox Shocks ready to bolt in with 4 ti bolts to tunnel.

Whst is the price on the rails? And the complete skid?

 

[carbontj]

I am working on pricing with Polaris for all the parts other than the rails. I am openly selling it as a complete suspension. I can not separate just rails. The rails are wider so the stock parts will not work, none of them. All need to machined to fit. It will be just 4 bolts and put into sled. I will offer it less shocks and you can use your stock shocks, it adds 3 lbs to the kit over the Fox Brandt shocks.

Will you be offering this with the new AXYS rear geometry?

This plus a Ti can would make an AXYS.... >380lbs... Crazy.

Add some Carbon body panels... delete this and that... Ti front etc... 350 easy.

And all the doubters thought a "sub 400# Wet Weight Ready to Ride Sled" was impossible when I said I was building a few of them a few years ago.

There going to be super upset when we go for 350lb or 299lb then.

what's crazy is there's probably another 10+oz you could pull out of your suspension too!

They are still in process, I'm not a multi-millionaire so it is taking far longer than I hoped, but at least one or more will be on snow this winter.

Man this gives me some major Sunday evening wood!! I would guess the price will give me a serious case of ED. Either way, I have something to dream about for a lot of days.

Didn't they shave weight out of Axys rear skid?? Wonder how much lighter this is than that?

What about sleds with anti ratchets and anti stab wheels? Just cut the rails like usual?

 

[icr]

I believe the axys skid is 2.5lbs lighter so this skid would still save over 10lbs

We also made our carbon fiber rails the same as the 2016 Axys rail with 3" off the end of the rail to reduce drag.

We can use the same rail for the 2016 Axys by moving the holes in the rails.
