We know that durability is key, so we made sure this part could take a beating. We start with two blocks of 6061-T6 Aluminum and mill the 2 peice body. We then head the lathe and turn down the two 7075-T6 Aluminum shafts for the kit to pivot and ride on. We then slide in the spherical bearing and assemble the kit. This kit not only looks good but is absolutely tough as nails.

Many riders complain about the "wandering" or "loose" feel the T-motion has. We chose to relocate the pivot portion to the lower pivot shaft to help aleviate this as much as possible. Now instead of the rails rocking side to side as they pivot, our kit allows the rails just to rotate. This helps maintain a more planted feel while still reaping the rewards of the flexable rear suspension. This also allowed us to add slightly more pivot while keeping the track properly aligned in the tunnel.

This is a great idea, but I wish it had a lock feature in case I didn't want the flex in certain situations...

Is it a bushing on the bottom, hiem joint? Is it replaceable? Either way I am already on the list for one.

A guy could slide a rubber bushing under the pivot point on either side if you wanted to limit the tilt, you could slide it in or out on the bottom bar. Wouldn't be all that hard really.

Looked at this at haydays. Are you depending upon the front arm to just flex that amount? Obviously the T-motion has flat tubes on the front arm which will allow for flex.

Thanks

It is a spherical bearing, snap ring and presses in for easy assembly and replacement if needed. They are designed to last a lot longer then your sled will hold up.

The its a combination of the rails, shock/suspension bushings, and the front torque arm deflecting. 3 degrees gets eaten up over the few junctions very quickly.

We had discussed a sort of lock out mechanism, but it made the part far more complicated and cost got out of the range we wanted to be able to offer this at.

production for ac/yamaha?

how are these coming along for the ac/yamaha suspensions. I see you updated for the Polaris guys but nothing for the others yet? I would like to find out when I can purchase these (already on waiting list)

 

[catothom]

How does the flex affect the front mount of the tunnel and front arm in the skid? If only the rear part of the suspension is flexing, and the front part is not, something must give in? That's what seems logical to me.
Would love to hear from the guys that has been running this setup for a time now how it holds up and how rest of the sled has been affected

I have 2 of them in separate sleds. Works well without any issues on fatigued parts. Second season on first sled. Very noticeable. Id recommend them
Safe sledding

I put one on my pro this winter I liked it enough that I will upgrade my nytro kmod to a k motion and also on the new Kmod skid for the 174" LE that I have on order.

Hot would this kit work with a 36inch front end on the Pro RMK?, would this kit make it to tippy and be more of a handful to maneuver the sled?

We have a number of customers who have the Pro-Motion on their 36" front end sleds. We Also ran this combo on one of our test sleds. They are definitely VERY easy to roll onto their side. It takes a little bit to get used to not over riding the setup due to the major decrease in effort to maneuver. Once you get used to the combo, it is absolutely effortless feeling compared to a stock sled.

As for fatigue issues/failure. We have a couple hundred units on the snow between the AC/YAM/POL models. We have yet to have anyone call back regarding issues with suspension component fatigue or failure.

This has been an absolutely awesome product for us! Simple install, easy to feel/compare vs a stock sled, and very positive customer reviews across the board.

Happy Sledding

My sled has 36" arms works well with them.

 

[bailer]

Very nicely made piece.. nice that it is a straight replacement, no drilling.

I have it in combination with 36" arms as well, feels very similar to a Doo now, but perhaps without the complaints of the wandering feel some experience with the T-motion due to the pivot placement now closer to the track, as described here......
