Thinking about putting a 136 in my srx , it is already max perf long traveled , does lengthing it out improve the ride ? Thanks , Marinetech
136
I just put a 136 in my SRX. After riding my 04 Warrior with the 136 I didn't wast anytime changing my SRX to 136. I also put in a Expert X at the same time so there is no comparison to the old ride. The 136 cruises over the stutter bumps alot better plus alot better traction. There is no real noticable front end push.

I went to a 136 X 1.25 predator in place of the stock 121 on my Viper for this year. With limited riding this year I have noticed a huge difference in how the Viper rides and handles. The ride is significantly improved on the smaller bumps. On the bigger bumps I don't know that I can say that. I swapped back and forth between my extended Viper and my 01 VMax and the VMax really felt rough. On the big bumps I slow way down. I haven't jumped before or after.
I have noticed the hook up is also significantly improved. Enough so that too much throttle in a corner pushes it right through the corner. No more sliding the back out around corners with a lot of power. I also notice that applying a lot of power on a straight without being pointed straight first results in a lot of drift in the direction originally pointed. The skis stay up for quite a while.
I am very pleased with it.

yes a 136" is generally a smoother ride...we have 2 97's one is 136" and it rides better
If you ride in the swisty's I don't recommend it. Rides great through the bumps, but it pushes hard in the corners, theres not enough adjustment to remove the push. In my opinion I would look into the reaction suspension from bender. Although the cost of a new track and extension kit is less than a new suspension. I think your money would be better spent on a different skid.

not only is it smoother, it doesn't have that "squirrely" feel with the rear end darting around - Ran a 136" M10 with 1.5" camoplast predator on my SRX for 5 years and it didn't push thru the corners at all. I could throw it around almost as easy as the old short track. Extended to a 151" this year - that one pushes a little

i stretched my sled out to a 136 also. i used a camoplast challanger 1.25 track and went with the extension kit from mountain performance. i love the way it has improved the ride and handling of the sled. i really dont feel i have sacrificed much, rather than i have gained lots.... it hooks up real hard now... you'll be amazed...

136" cure for push
I've had a Mountian SRX since '98 and have only ridden it flatland. 10" carbides will take of the push especially if you're picked. Also play with the limiter straps to get more ski pressure to dial out the push. You can get a long track to handle any way you want, (oversteer,understeer, neutral) just by setting it up right. Another trick that works good in the tight twisties is to lock the brake to get the rear end to come around on a particularly tight and slow turn. Once pointed where you want WOT will get you out of there.
