i finanlly hit the trail with the airwave 136 . i had ohlins on the sled before , nice yes , but the m10 is sooo sweet . it is as they say , you can just go . the front feels poor now the back , well very nice . pricey yes . but the next sled will just be a 136 . its a investment in sleding ,and well worth it :hide:

How was it to install? Did you get the set up with the auto adjust? What do you mean front will hop the back? How's the ride hieght? How is it cornering? I'm dyin to know more, cuz the Vipe needs help...check that, my back needs help...LOL
 
I got the ohlins put in my viper S and they're great. makes it like a different sled. Thanks for upgrading your rear skid! You wouldn't be interested in selling the stock skid out of your sled?
 
All Viped up, you would love it, I have rode an airwave and it works great.I put a standard m-10 on my sled after getting tired of being beat up.Once set up properly the ride height really is'nt any higher once your seated on the sled as it runs 4-6 inches of sag.Its deceiving cause they sure look jacked up sitting there with no rider on board.If setup right the cornering is just as good if not better than stock.The airwave has all the same characteristics as the m-10, but just more plushness and a wider performance envelope with air spring.You would be tickled with a m-10 over the no- action as they say, but the airwave is definetely the ultimate setup.Its just a matter of how big of a check you want to right team fast!
 
Oh, I forgot to mention the hookup is'nt all that great, but worth it for the comfort.I'm gonna 136'" mine this coming fall for more traction and even more comfort from the bump bridging of the longer track.
 
well hook up was great , without a limiter strap . but it shur is hard to steer with the skis up. so i put in the strap . it was hard to tell today on our 100 mi ride. as the snow is sooo loose . it is a little tippy now but i may try to pull the strap up one hole . but the ride is great i sure can feel the front end now , even with works shocks . i got the on board comp so when i got into the nasty stuff today , just flip the switch .. more air and go . i will work on the front to balance it out more . i think i may add 1 in spacers to the shocks to get more ski pressure. but the last part of today is usually a bad trail as is now . but i just flew thu it

not selling as it will go back in if i sell the sled . thats what makes the m10 nice you move it to the new sled
 
anything is better in a viper! I love my mono, and seems like a lot of people like the m-10, so the airwave should be better with the added adjustability

I think the ohlins are excellent in the ProAction - but I've never ridden a MONO either.
 
yeah, I have heard from a few people that the ohlins was a VAST improvement. I went mono because it was about te same price and I had ridden and liked it
