We have traveled quite a few mountain roads over the Rockies and off roads as well with our 2011 model 177 with the 14 inch wheels and NO risers, so the pod sits pretty low. The only issue we have had are some filling stations with a somewhat severe incline as we exit the main road and have scraped the back stabilizers a few times, but not to the point of tearing them off. I have done that in our backyard and also in the UP of Michigan once when I went into an area I shouldn't have; bent them pretty bad, but figured even if I had the risers, the same thing would have happened. Just went into an area that I shouldn't have, it is called driver discretion, which that time I lacked big time.
