When is Riva going to come out with a stage 2 kit for the 250x? Can you tell us what will be included in it and what it does to the skis preformance? Also when is the intake grate coming out and what are your thoughts about aluminum not being strong enough of a material to handle the big horsepower and breaking under the stress?

Sorry, but we do not have a specific release date for our Ultra 250 Stage 2 Kit at this time. It's a challenge to provide an economical kit that delivers significant speed gains after the initial installation of our Stage 1 kit. We will continue with the development process until we are satisfied with the value and performance gains that further modifications add to the craft.

We feel confident in the material used to make our intake grates. They are plenty strong enough when used as intended. Obviously if an intake grate has been damaged or modified it could fail and should not be used.
