Lynx rear suspension PPS is the main reason for trenching. That has been the case since Boondocker was introduced, Doo has been way better on deep&steep allways and still is. 2023 shredder has same style track as 2022 summits but 15" wide. 2024 model should have same track as 2023 doo but 15" wide so this will help a little with trenching.
But the main reason is the desing/geometry of the boggie. Ofc extra weight also makes some effect on this.
You can reduce trenching a little bit by adjusting the rear shocks and strap limiter. First I would loosen the center shock preload by 1,5mm (one round less of preload).
All you guys need to remember that Lynx is designed for Scandinavian conditions. That means low riding elevations, mostly hard packed snow. Regular snow pack here is around 70-120cm as its best. Its very different kind of riding than high altitude conditions with bottomless powder. And there would be no point for Lynx to just copy Ski-Doo. They both perform well in their own areas.
Also should remember that DS = Summit and RE = Freeride. If you ride deep&steep, you definately should go with DS. Stiff and heavy shocks make sled harder to get on edge and also trenches more.
