Just an FYI on these slides..

I went from replacing slides every 400 to 600 miles (which is every other weekend for me here in Michigan) , to making a full season this year (2200 trail miles this year) on a single set on my tnytro. My apex only got about 1700 miles, but again, on a single set, with life left..

They are a bit hard on the track clips, some heavier grooving but no issues yet... Very pleased with Yamaha's work in this area with suppliers to come up with a solution, now if they can shave some weight up front to save our carbides.....

There is a lot of information on UHMW (*the material used in slides -- was known as Hyfax back in the 70's*) online at one of the manufacturer's websites.
