Who has real experience with a ZX2

Looking for some feedback on the Boivin ZX 2 suspension on a Apex Mountain

Anyone out there ??? Can it take a beading - does it ride good in the bumps??

IMSICK is the only guy I know that has put mountain time on one installed in an Apex.

Finally had time to get the ZX2 install Finished

The install is real easy 3- 4 hours, it took longer to assemble the skid with the extensions than to do the drop brackets .
Works great in the trails here , now its time to take here to the mountains. I had to mess with it a bit to get enough transfer , now she is great of the line but still runs flat anywhere else , she just begs for a turbo.
The track has to be super loose for best performance and for the suspension to work properly, but so far no prob with slipping.
I will keep this updated as I have more deep snow info and some pics.

2-3 feet of wet heavy pow -3 Celsius ---- not at all what January should be like up here , but will take it over -30 any day.

The ZX2 performed excellent in the soft snow ----- carves and side-hills easier than anything else I ever had. I did mess a bit with the limiter and coupling set up for the best setting for the stock engine Apex. I have a 156 challenger extreme under it so great traction in this stuff. I had to set it to max weight transfer with no to moderate coupling for the skis to lift out initially and than it climbs and runs flat skis just above the snow. There is lots of coupling and weight transfer control left for a turbo.
The ride on the trail was great, you can see that they have that dialed.
In the big woops it could do with a bit more rebound dampening (got Big Boy springs on it)
There are a few things I want to try but all in all I am a real happy camper. And If I don't get time to mess with it I will be happy to ride it just like it is for the rest of the season.
