Just wondering who likes wich ones better? I think i like the flex better, on water and on trail, i dunno still new to the tunnel skis so i guess i should wait before i totally judge but i think i am gonna end up looking for a pair of flex to replace the tunnel skis with. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.-Jay

people seem to like the precision ski on the ZX chassis. something i am going to try with my REV is lean more forward in a turn because i was told the precision holds holds better then.

The precision ski on the ZX chassis worked wonders. I'm not sure about the precision ski on the Rev chassis though. Way too much bite on decel and sometimes unpredictable in tight corners.Also following another sled with the same ski can cause darting that realy makes you work hard to get out of it.Tunnel type skis will always have more steering effort.

Fridgee get yourself a set of intense carbides and dont look back. get rid of the stock ones as they are crap. I was lucky enough to win a new set of intense carbides courtesy of MXZ7's dealer in Wisconsin. They are still in the box. I am hoping to be able to use them this winter. LAter PErm

This question has been posted so many times over the past two seasons. I am seeing more like the Flex on the Rev and the Precision on the ZX. Rev seems to float better off trail on flex and not dive, while the ZX still floats off trail (weight distribution) but turning traction increases. I will be running Precision this season on my 800 ZX. If I hate it.....hahaha I'll swap them to my wife's sled and take her flex back....HAHAHAHA

Thanks for the input everyone. Didn't see the post on this before Thanks for the advice Jeff, will look into gettin a set of the intense carbides. Still think i might get a set of flex skis for different riding conditions...say late in the year when i am out on the water all the time. w00t w00t

Thanks again-Jay

Pete,
i am sure the new set up on your 2005 will not be as upredictable as the 2003 of Laurie's. the shocks are not the same and the swaybar is a different one again.
