Details

The Stage 1 is our most accessible entry-level shock model designed to upgrade your UTV’s suspension beyond the capabilities of the stock shocks

If you believe that your stock shocks are “good enough”, you probably never tried a set of properly calibrated aftermarket shocks. It is amazing how much difference our Stage 1 can make on your vehicle. Even if you just cruise along at moderate speed, these shocks will erase the bumps and get rid of the vibration so you can ride comfortably and in perfect control. However, the more you press the throttle, the more your Stage 1 shocks will come alive and make a night-and-day difference to the handling and performance of your UTV. This product provides you adjustability over some parameters of the suspension and therefore might require some testing and fine-tuning to obtain maximum performance. With adjustability comes responsibility!
