Any idea if we can order these skis for our older sleds?? I’ve never been a fan of the older pilot skis in loose snow.

Me too. I have a sneaky, sneaky suspicion that it's the exact same ski...which is at least well reviewed on the lynx and, IMO, makes sense in its design philosophy. I was tempted to try a pair of the lynx skis on my '22 MXZ (which just happens to have red skis) but I went with slydogs instead as they were a bit cheaper and a bit more aggressive (which was the whole issue I had in the first place...stock skis not being aggressive enough)

I have concerns over tracking with the deep keel, single skag on the new ski. In the past our doo's sleds would jump/track into other ski tracks. This was the beginning of the pilot, tx, dual skag, designs ski's from doo. It is concerning that going back to a deeper single keel ski, they may stepping back into the past with a tracking issues? Fine for aggressive riding but may not be such a great ski for other purposes?

As far as I can tell, flat as a board (with some slight waves/ripples from the manufacturing process). I answer this in the context of "rocker" skis that skiers use...see here: Ski Camber and Rocker Explained | Jans Ski Expert Info Center

I'll try to get a decent image but, I don't know if I'll be able to.

What I received have this molded into them: "505075971" "PILOTRXV2.0" if that changes anything. I ordered individual skis so I can put handles on that are not black.

Hi Kenneth! The 505074778 handle is a standard handle and fits a variety of Ski-Doo models and has a more basic design.

The 50507564 (364) handle is specifically designed for the RX ski and resembles the Pilot X handle like you mentioned. It may have a more ergonomic shape for a better grip.

We hope this helps!

Not sure if you know but the RX ski will not come on the MXZ X model. That is what I am told and if you look at the website once you click on the X model on the 600 you will see just Pilot X ski. But in the PDF download file it says Pilot RX ski. So not sure what is really coming now. Both the X and XRS get the RX front suspension but the SKI not sure now. I have the same model as you in the 129 coming. So now I am going to wait till the sled comes in and see what the X model actually has on now. Then I will make a decision if I want to get what Mark post above as a kit.
