Trenching fixes

[the gman]

I have had sleds and bikes that some trenched, and some climbed up on top. I always thought a shallower approch angle helped, softer front spring setting helped, sometime firmer helps ect. Does anyone have facts of what they have found works best light powder. I have noticed the old yeti track was king in light powder but the firm newer one seemed to trench, not bashing just stating what I saw. What have others found for best deeeep powder. Thanks,

Try more tension on front tunnel shock spring, less on the rear.

Like sleds too aggressive of attack more trenching ?

I have a new take off new 129 Yeti powder track if someone needs one

I found this approach to cause worse trenching. A stiffer front spring often won't allow the front suspension to "ride" up on the snow, instead chewing through it and trenching. My bike trenched horribly at the beginning of this season due to too much spring tension on the front spring.

Just my $.02

I've found that setting my QS3-r shocks both to the "soft" setting is by far the best for powder. The difference in trenching between firm and soft is crazy.

From your description it's a MaxTrac I? Correct? Thanks!

agree stiffer rear lighter front will give more ski pressure and less trenching.
