Handling performance was best when the sled was on hard-packed trail where the two carbide edges per ski had a firm surface to bite. We ran a set of 6-inch Slim Jim Dooly runners on our 2009 Polaris 800 IQ demo sled that also had 144 studs in the track. After running them last season we couldn’t agree more with how they’re positioned. Woody’s aims Slim Jim Doolys to people who like the reduced darting effects of dual-runner wear bars but want more steering control.
