Who makes the longest carbides for the stock polaris gripper skis?

Im pretty sure i saw a 8", and i wouldnt be surprised to see 10" either.

Longer carbides Must see a bunch of trail time. I HATE my stock carbides, freaking things are dangerous in the mountains. I need to take and grind them off!

X2, first thing I do is get rid of the carbides and install just steel wear rods.
Too much damage can occur with carbides and immovable objects.
Thats just where I ride though, if a guy spends all his time on the trail I could see using the carbides

As a Minnesota native I do get it. We used to run 8-10 inches of carbide all the time. Just the opposite of the safety issue we have in the mountains. I just found it kind of funny since I have been fighting mine lately.

Don't you find with steel only wear bars they wear out quickly just riding up the odd road here and there?

Nope, dont ride or cross paved roads anywhere we ride. I also remove the carbide from the factory wear bars right away. Remove bar, heat carbide with torch, knock out carbide, hit with wire brush. Make sure they are still straight and fill in the V notch with mig welder.

Its safer mountain riding, doesnt tear up the guides on my sled deck and can pull into the shop without scratching the floor. Eric

How or why are carbides dangerous?

Stick a carbide on a rock or log during a turn or climb and you will understand. I've seen many a trailing arm and a-arm bent from sticking a carbide. Sometimes you get a personal cartwheel. No carbides on my sleds.

Non Carbide Runners

Who sells non carbide runnrs? Dennis Kirk only has carbide and the Woody's site alo show pretty much all carbide?

I could use steel for the west and keep the carbides for trails here in MN.

Thanks.

DING DING DING..... its a silly way to get hurt or wreck a sled. Ive even seen it happen trail riding in the mid-west. Groomer drag dropped a blade and was laying flat in the snow. Sled carbide hooked the blade, the sled flipped / hit a tree and was totaled. The rider got hurt bad.

Same thing applies to mountain riding with logs,trees, rocks. Eric

Nothing but mountain riding here and I ditched carbides last year and it has been awesome. Glide over the stump and rocks now.
