I too am interested in the new version. Can’t find any instructions to see where they mount. The old ones require removing idlers.

I agree the new ones are the way to go...if you dont want the tunnel mount version (I like mine)
or want the cheapo version
but they may not be available untill later in the season

I don't have a Gen 4 but I don't think you need to remove Wheels for all applications. Could be wrong. At least on the XS chassis. They're very effective even in the middle of the rail.
 
I’m pretty sure the new style actually Mount to the rail and then the idler wheel mounts to the outside of the ice scratch your mount
There was a pic somewhere
 
My dealer opened a case with BRP since i had ordered a set. They were cancelled. BRP said they are pushed out until MY 24 now... I had two sets on order since April..
 
I think it's got a replaceable carbide tip now. Been running carbide tipped ones on the tunnel and not impressed with how fast they still wear. Consider the added cost of the carbide tipped ones compared to no carbide. You can get replacement springs for the rail mounted ones on eBay for like $20 per side with shipping. Just bought three sets. The broad surface of the carbide may throw up more snow but if you're riding on close to ice I wonder how effective they are compared to the single spring cutting into the ice. JMO
Got a link to the springs on eBay? I can't find them.
 
For what it's worth...these do exist, I just installed my pair last night, they are the ONLY scratchers that work with 129" smart shox sleds (the tunnel mount don't work with 129, only 137), and they're awesome. So...yeah. :)
