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. The Slim Jim’s taller edges penetrate deeper into the snow, which increases steering effort but improves control. Conventional dual-runner bars use a pair of separate host bars that are welded to a flat bar. The edges have pre-formed grooves to accept the cutting carbide and hard weld. Each Slim Jim runner is made from a single, flat plate of steel that is stamped and bent on each edge to form a ‘U’ shaped bar.
