So while we wait for the 3D printer to finish, here is the CAD model.
Trim is going to fit OEM 155 exit nozzle
Full billet exit nozzle no welding, max ID will be 95mm
Steering nozzle, max ID will be 100mm
For inquiries PM me or DM Pitch components on instagram

I plan on discussing it with Phil. I have 3 Raptor Trims and they are amazing, my boys won 2 World Championships with them last year and we don’t have any intentions on changing. With 3 Freestyle skis being ridden nearly every single day I have plenty to wrench on and maintain and the Raptors have been bulletproof. After the first few days I literally never once had to touch them all year. Beyond the durability, the steering flat out works. In my opinion trim is trim, they all tilt and are capable of flipping a ski. Where the Raptor shines is the captured thrust at massive steer angles making the ski spin like a top. Not doubting Pitch’s ability to manufacture as it looks like they build some nice parts but computer models and printed components are still a long way off of a working, validated and proven design like the Raptor. That being said, the only drawback to the Raptor is fixed holes. If Phil wants to take on a redesign to have interchangeable rings I’m all on board with helping achieve that. I have already modified one to accept rings for tuning in a setup but cannot achieve the bores I need based on the constraints of the parts. I shouldn’t have made the comment that we as a sport need a Raptor with adjustable rings as 99% of the sports would be perfectly served by the current design and quite frankly, the majority of those wouldn’t know what to do with interchangeable bores anyway. I personally would love to have that option. I wish all the well to both P&P and the guys from Pitch. Plenty of room for competing companies, if their parts are good, they will have success.

Thats a pretty hard accusation dude. Let met make this clear, this is no copy of P&P raptor trim. Neither pitch or myself have had a Raptor trim in our hands.
The idea of a coupler flow guard, i dont think have any owner as the 144mm XS trim was the first to adapt this (besides the OEM couch trim rings)
This has been on the drawing board for quite some time, but only recently have Pitch Components had time to focus on finishing it.
Look at the other parts from this company, this is not a copy cat shop in your moms shed. These are all ideas from own experience and thought, then drawn in house and made to either high end carbon fiber parts or high end billet parts.
Ive talked back and fourth with Pitch regarding how to make the ultimate performing trim and exit nozzle, that the sport has not seen yet - and this is the product.

You do realize Trim systems have been out for over 20 years now right?
Protec had the first that I know of.
Blowsion came out with theirs (Skat) around 2005 or so.
XFT around 2004-2005 (Maybe sooner).
Thrust came out with theirs in the late 2000's.
XMetal came out in late 2000's
Thrust - redesign mid 2010's
RRP
Bun (Believe they have their own)
Xmetal - Redesign 2017?
Skat - Current Design (Think same as Blowsion)
P&P 2018/19

So, How is this a copycat of P&P?

oh, I left out race trim systems. R&D has had several. The Watson Machine Shop Autotrim for the X4 seadoo's. (For bonus points who know what this one is).

The biggest hurdle with almost any company in this industry is supply and demand. Trim concept looks sweet but having it instock ready to ship or an accurate timeframe goes along way. Now you have all this buzz on a product that hasnt even been tested,granted theres not much that could fail but No one really likes a copy either but I guess blowsion is still killing it so I could be wrong . I've used the p and p trim for over a season and it hasn't had any issues it's an excellent product.but theres also a small niche of us riders that will spend that coin on a trim. Dont expect to get rich on this,put your efforts into the innovation and customer service and you will definitely be successful.

Yes you're right, and if you guys look at the Pitch ULTRA pole, i can assure you they have to sell alot more poles to break even with design, R&D and test of product. On the other hand, i havent seen that quality in carbon jetski parts before - nor innovation :)

But stay tuned for the finished product and keep checking in - I know they have more parts on the computer allready drawn and ready to go. All light weight parts :)

I couldnt agree more on innovation and custommer service - as a winning point!

Sure would be nice to have a pump manufacturer get together with these dudes to design an exit nozzle/pump together that could accentuate or even extend the attributes of a given pump "design". May prove fruitless in application, just thinking out loud. Have a great day. I forgot to add that the product looks fly as hell.
