Read the code. Same standard op as a car.

If you can't read it take it to a dealer.

If your skis are lifting, it has to do with the position of your limiter straps .. not the t-motion.

...but you know that

I do know that.

I'm talking about more 'fun' tandem routes


It's more just when the rear end is heavily weighted, both people standing on their back leg kind of thing. The wobble will wobble. That alpha thing I think would be a no go. IE: really fucking entertaining to watch someone try.

Only thing is, I think the Alpha will have more resistance because it isn’t a loose linkage, it works by flexing the track. Guessing it will be more progresssive. But it’s all noise until we can ride one.

[eldereldo]

The alpha system looks good. This is my 2nd season on a 850 and it’s all smiles. Don’t find any issues with the tmotion when tandeming with a partner who knows how to sled. Its definitely painful taking a newbie, but that’s just the case in general. At least it’s another back and shovel... I’m sure there will be some aftermarket knock-offs to come out simulating the alpha for the other brands.

I wonder if they can do something that works the same and not infringe the patents? I guess you could try doing a real narrow skid, still based on two rails. Biggest problem I can see, is the special track, who is going to make an aftermarket version of it for such a limited market. Might have to be like the snow bike skids were to start with, skid and track as a package.

Or just buy the kit from Cat and adapted it to your sled.

I predicts, this is not going to be something anyone has to worry about, because the product is going to suck.

you need to dig into the slope for a secure sidehill ... thats been polaris' take on t-motion all along, and the rationale behind t-motion delete... its also why the polaris skid mods that gave more movement than T-motion also sucked.

Try skinning up a slope without edging in, and keeping your base parallel to the slope.. not going to to be a fun time. I chatted with a few folks this week about alpha, and everyone (except one artic cat fanboi) thought it was doomed..

Will that didn't suck. Once again best goods found closer to the cabin. So much terrain.

I love that the Polaris boys were disappointed. They all wanted a factory turbo.

Had some family come from Ontario. They have sleds but have never been to ab/bc on them. Was izzy 's first time skiing powder, being in the back country and tandem. Her and her dad both flipped sleds before we even left the parking lot. One playing on a snow bank the other hitting a patch of dirt mid turn. Didn't think we would make it up!
Worked well, got three runs in, but the go pro died after the second.

80m from the parking lot thr little one couldn't hold on any more to the sled through the whoops. Hit the throttle with her leg or something and it took off like a rodeo bull. Dumped her off and bounced onto the logging road. Damn those 850 airboxes are fragile and ripe for the smashing. Probably 500$ to the three different parts.
Made a little video of it. (3 minutes)
