Question with airframe boards

[fuledya]

Im aware of the awesome ability these boards have off keeping snow off the boards, just wondering how are they on trail? I ride 50/50 and am wondering if they allow alot of snow and ice to come up through the boards while trail riding?
Opinions welcome.

no it is a non issue. i've had to ride plenty of miles of trail since putting on my airframes and have never noticed this as an issue.

I find the traction screws a bit annoying on the trail. On the hill it's all good. My Klim boot's soles are hatin' life though.

They are the best option for all riding conditions I haven't noticed any problem with the boots because you don't kick boards any more from my experience I hope the 2013 stock boards are as good as my air frames

agree with above about boots not eating my boots b/c i no longer kick. ever.

i don't think the 13 boards will be quite as good as the airframes. the 13s are square and raw aluminum.

Thanks guys, im seriously considering these, as I hate the stock boards. Just not 100% sure yet, cause once installed theres no going back!

1st upgrade that should be done on any sled, In our group that I ride in there is not one bad comment from anyone about them.

A couple of our rides this year required us to ride about 10 miles of trail each way to get to our play area. I never experienced any snow or ice coming up through the boards and I was watching. Now water crossing is a different story, you will get wet crossing creeks. LOL

don't you have a sba? they don't make anything for those sleds yet. my stock rmk boards let plenty of snow u thru them, especially with scratchers down. i see the airframes being worse.

I was worried about that as well but it hasn't been as issue at all. I wouldn't think twice about adding them. One of the best mods I've done!

They make them now for the SBA.

Air frame questions

I have heard awesome reviews of the Skinz Airframes, I personally just ordered a set of "Zero's snows" from Scott at Diamond S Mfg. Check em out, they are great as well. http://www.diamond-smfg.com/Running-boards.html

Once you go Airframe you NEVER go back. It will get to the point where you won't want to ride a sled without them. Order now, you will get them April 2013.
