Low Cost Doo Ski Rubber Snubber?

[tuneman]

Anyone ever try the SPI 08-325-11 ski snubbers on a Pro? I have a couple of sets laying around the shop and thought I'd try them out. They're super inexpensive at about $15/pair. The dimensions seem to match up nearly perfectly to the more expensive Doo snubbers that we typically use. Durometer seems similar too....

never tried them but they look a bit skinny at the bottom of the V, i think the poo ones are about 1/2in thick their... post up on how the work. the duropros are still holding up great after a few years but they aren't no 15$ a par either

i gave on all the cheap replacements and just got the durapros they were 80 a set ,but after using them i guaranty i will never need another pair .
p/s these are polyurethane not rubber so they are tough

One of the first changes I make to my sleds is to replace the Polaris rubber bumpers with the durapros. They are tough.

Just bringing this thread back to report a season's worth of riding on these cheap SPI snubbers.

I haven't tried DuraPros, but these were the best I've used to date. Waaaay better than stock and also better than the typical Doo snubbers (probably because of the solid construction, no holes). Ski performance was very predictable.

I did trim them slightly to fit the slot better (see pics). Highly recommended [emoji106]

Thanks for the pictures and part numbers! I’ll have to try these out and see how they work. I was not impressed with the durapros. Both sets failed in one season and durapro would not honor the warranty.

Have heard quite a few instances where DuraPro isn't honoring their warranty.

throttlecrazy, I've had the same thing. 2 seasons with my durapros and one side ripped like yours did and the other side had stress cracks where the rip was starting. Haven't reached out for warranty yet but I'll see what they say.
