I'm thinking of ordering Simmons Flex Skis and I'm wondering if any of you own a set.
What do you think of them?

I had some on my 99 rmk. the where the best, Big improvment from stock. what are you going to do with them? great powder ski, good trail ski. but its all about how the sled likes them. when I got my IQ rmk I put a set of them on. Hated them. the a arms pushed the skis around on the trails. got some powder pro's and work great with the new a arm's. If I where you I would try to get ahold of a pair before you go out and buy a pair of $400 skis.

I put them on my old Indy 400, and I like them. The only thing about them is that every once in a while, they grab something that I'm not expecting, and I almost have the bars tugged out of my hands. That only seems to happen on plowed fields.
My front end sits a little lower now because of them, so I'm thinking of putting in some longer spindles.

my brother has some(but i ride his sled a lot) i love them, they are great for most everything when it comes to trails, especially deep powder fields. but like WY_rider said, it depends on if your sled likes them, ask around to see if you can try out a pair for a weekend, or even rent them. say, you give them 400 bucks, and when you return them you get your 400 bucks back, and you have a receipt qritten, so no one can screw the other over.

The work great, better than the SD knockoffs. LOL, who'll let anyone "rent" a set of anything for free? LMFAO!

Can't go wrong with the Simmons ski's! They handle great on the trails and in the powder. I had a pair on my Firecat and now on my Crossfire. Rumor has it that they take away some MPH, but the improvement in handleing is worth it.

cool i might try to get a pair. also they give you the extra speed becuase less weight!

 

[WY_rider]

no simmins ski are heavy compared to most skis today. they are by no means lite.

 

[Indy400_88]

Not as heavy as my old steel skis were.

 

[myvertxcape]

They are probabably the heaviest of the plastic skis, but lighter than steel yes.

 

[LYSNE]
