Well I tried a pair of Gen 2 10" wide with 6" carbide on my Apex. I have to say I am now nearer to heaven....
I am a big boy, 280, 6'6" and these skis are the best thing I ever did. We ride mostly deep powder and I went from stuck a lot to hardly getting stuck at all. And if you do dig her in you just clean the running board area and the bulkhead and bam your out and back on top. Steering effort is reduced about 20% and they track real nice. Eliminated some of the tendency of lifting the ski on hard pack high speed turns.
I also run the transfer rods in the maximum transfer position (nose lift) All in all I really like them and kudos to Simmions for making a GREAT product. Also ordered them and had them at my door in 2 days......Thanks Simmons....
