The patent pending DuraPro™ ski dampener delivers many unique advantages over other designs:

• The dampener gives a linear, progressive dampening effect which allows the ski to flex more freely at low speeds and loads for softer dampening, and more rigidly at high speeds and loads for stronger dampening. Furthermore, it does this without compromising your ski, bushings, or spindle.
• The dampener maintains a proper ski approach angle position, giving your sled enhanced performance and more predictable handling on the snow. It's a difference that you will notice immediately, especially when traversing technical terrain and crossing other sled trenches / tracks.
• The dampener is the width of the ski cradle, offering maximum square surface area for the steering spindle. This equates to less wear and tear on your ski bushings, with better twisting and side-to-side stability for the ski.
• The proprietary composition is extremely resilient and resistant to UV light, cracking, tearing, swelling, breaking, abrasion, friction, temperature fluctuations, and vibration. This provides for a very long service life, making this the last ski dampener you'll ever have to buy.
• The majority of the DuraPro™ ski dampener’s effect occurs behind the steering spindle tab. This puts less stress on the tab and also gives the dampener the unique ability to continue functioning even if the tab breaks off.
• Weighs only 1.9 oz. heavier than the OEM dampener.
• MADE IN THE USA with 100% domestic materials and labor!

Great looking product... concept to product times on this are amazing.
Crossing fingers here.

As for the ProRid Compared To the axys.

I agree with 05900....With the shorter nose on the Pro Ride spindle, where it engages the rubber.... there are different forces on the snubbers...

Besides the different saddle area... the spindle nose also greatly affects the 'character' of the situation.

Something to ponder.

Thank you so much mountainhorse... a picture is worth a thousand words!

Just to clarify, the DuraPro ski dampeners should work in the older style Gripper ski (2007-2015). This is because the dampener was designed off of the Axys Gripper ski with the extra plastic web (circled in yellow in the right pic).

Had we designed it for the older ski, it wouldn't have worked in the Axys ski. Now it should work with both.

To address the issue of the shorter nose on the Pro-Ride spindle, you are correct that the spindle nose greatly affects the performance of a dampener... EXCEPT FOR THE DURAPRO DAMPENER. This is one of our main advertisements and one of the reasons for it's patent. Given the unique geometry, the majority of the work is being performed behind the spindle nose (tab).

In fact, I would venture to say that you would be hard pressed in most riding situations to notice a difference between a good spindle and one that has the nose removed, IF the DuraPro ski dampener is installed.

Thank you again for your help and kind words!
