ROTATIONAL MASS MATTERS

How much power are you losing with the "other guys"?

"Typically, and speaking in generalities, for each thousand foot gain in elevation, horsepower drops by three-percent. Given that, at 6,000 feet a 150 horsepower motor will lose 18-percent of its hp (6 x .03 = 0.18). So, this 150 hp, with 18-percent less horses (27 less) will slap a mountain face with 123 ponies. Add to that, an approximate 40 percent hp loss through the transmission — mostly through track rotation — this now 123 HP motor (123 X .40) is delivering 73.8 hp at the rear axle. The approximate 40-percent hp loss is charged to rotating mass, as well as binding, slippage, redirecting the twisting forces and resistance."

BILLET ALUMINUM

ONE PIECE DESIGN

For those at Big East and Snowdeo last year you know our product is not only as light but lighter than plastic products out there but it is obviously stronger as it eliminates the two piece designs of the past. Our product incorporates the nut and washer into a singular product made of 6061 T6 Billet Aluminum.

Our Billet Aluminum Backers are Significantly Lighter than the traditional "Washer and Nut Design" but then what isn't? 

Get The Most Out of Your Sled

Rotational Mass Is Key
Reducing your stud backer weight can reduce your rotational mass by over a pound!
What shocks most people is we are lighter than the Chinese plastic backers.
