Sneak Peek of the new K MOD 4 position QUICK coupler for 2012-2013 season.
We have been testing this new coupler design all year and have come up with a 4 position quick coupler that can be adjusted in a few seconds. Just grab the coupler with one hand and turn.
It has 4 levels of coupling. We have added an even milder setting for a Caddie type ride and a more playful front end.
The 4 positions are in sequence and numbered, making each position easily identified, even when covered in snow.
This will be standard on all the new suspensions and kits for the 12-13 season, and an upgradable option for all K MOD skids in the field.
This is one of K MOD’s many new refinements for the coming year, so stay tuned.
Thanks, Kevin

#1 is the mildest and is 30% coupled. This position is for running down the trail and playing with a lively feel, it is very compliant on the bumps for a smooth soft ride.
#2 is the same as last year’s mildest setting. It couples for 50% and is very good for boon docking and tree riding with a fair amount of climbing. It will help keep it on plane with a level vehicle attitude. This setting allows a rider to “get in and out” of the throttle while maneuvering around trees and obstacles and avoid the unpredictable wheelie. This is a great all around setting for stock engines or lower boost pump gas turbos.
#3 is 70 % coupled and the vehicle will handle very similar to #2 with better wheelie control to overcome steeper and more aggressive terrain. This setting will take on 90% of the hills that you want to climb. Use this setting if you like to take the bumps aggressively, it allows the rails to maintain a flatter attitude in the moguls. #3 is great for hole shots and controls traction less wheelies if you like to line up with your buddies. Better control for boost over 12 lbs.
#4 is full coupling and intended for aggressive climbing. It will plant the skis and stay on plane in steeper conditions. As in all the less aggressive positions it is easy to “get in and out” of the throttle for technical maneuvers in the steep and a rider can still side hill easily like in the other positions.
All 4 positions will overlap with each other, once you find your” happy zone” you will find that you can ride several terrains and conditions with the same setting or re adjust in seconds for different terrain or snow conditions.
All coupling percentages are approximate and can be changed with different mounting and strap adjustment. These percentages apply to the full skid and the conversion.
