Looks interesting. Light, strong, and relatively inexpensive.

I had inquired on one of them for my xcr 800 last year. I changed my mind when I investigated total cost. It doesn't sound like a pile of money considering what some guys spend on mods, but for a $4000-$5000 sled, it hurts a bit. I guess it could be put in any new sled you would purchase, but I thought money was better spent doing the edge mod. I picked up a skid for $350. By the time I rebuild the shock and get an extension rail kit for it to go 136", I'll probably be around $500-$600. Still a far cry. I sure would have liked to try it, if it was a couple hundred bucks cheaper ~ $1300 ish.....

AD Boivin ZX2 suspension - $1299.00
Installation kit - $149.00
Extension kit - $150.00
Color option - $50.00
Shipping - $100.00

Total - $1750.00

That's a little rich for my blood....but a used one for half that would be worth looking at.

A few guys are running them in their Yammi sleds. Not going to get into why. They do have some stuff of their own going on. Others rave about them.... You can check out some of the discussions here if you'd like:
