Raptor front end

[wwillf01]

Any more reviews on this.... Is it worth the coin on a Timbersled kit.. Looking for better trail manors and less wash outs on steep terrain on slow turn ups ... I have a cr500

Trail isn't great. Floats well off trail. Got one for sale cheap if you want.

Like Screech says not so great for trail with how CMX sets up the skis, and have heard how Raptor does them isn't any better.




As long as there is just a little fresh the CMX skis behave better, especially on a narrow one sled wide trail.




Would like to try some C&A skis and see how they do.




After getting proper fork springs I've been happy with the side hilling.




Anyways with the reports of people liking the Yeti ski that will fit your TS. Unless Screech gave you heck of a deal, seems like the Yeti would be cheapest and maybe best way to go?

So - buddy of mine bought 2013 KX450 set up with a Raptor front end. I thought it worked pretty well on the trail.

I then rode the setup with the Yeti ski. Save your $$. Buy the Yeti. It held better on the trail it, and off trail manners were about the same. To be honest, I was really looking forward to riding the raptor front end. Part of the problem could have been the air forks on the KX450. Rebound and damping in the different tubes I guess is not a recipe for great performance on the Raptor.

Yeti ski

End Scene.

TS ski is still the best all around ski on the market. The Yeti shines in brand new fluffy powder and beat to crap trails... all other conditions the TS ski is better.

The Raptor X2 is a pile of junk, plain and simple.

I agree

I have tried all three and that has been my experience as well.....
