Cat and Polaris scooping up Doo disgruntled customers.

Heard there is another new belt for the G4 summits.

Cat is running torsion springs on thier 2019 snow cross racer so they must be no good.

Lol Same a doos race sled.
There is nothing wrong with torsion springs, there is more adjustability than a coil over or air shock.

Other than they sack out and break.
Extra weight...........

Nothing at all wrong with them... if you wanna bash tables and bank corners and ride around in a circle with 10 of your closest buddies they are the tits.... other than that they are about useful as the wobble clutch.I guess doo needs something to hold that rear skid on the g4 from sagging out to the ground once those fisher price shocks **** the bed

That's just cause they put light ones on from factory, heavy ones don't sack out or break

Had coil over on Doo, went back to torsion . But im not realy an expert mountain rider like you guys.

I will start small and work my way up to the Alpha

You will not see major or adequate/correct change from BRP until their 4 year cycle is up.
You only get band aids to make it better.
We are on layer 3 and sled is now almost as good as it should have been on year one.
Live with it.
That's all you are getting.
And it's actually not that bad.

Live with it. good advice from BRP, trudy should send them another billion! haha

Too bad they don't put the right ones in from factory....

Problem is they design it for guys like Norana, or Ashley chafman and the guys that buy them look more like John Goodman. In a perfect world they would set it up for the person buying it at the dealer. But you have to do that yourself unfortunately. That is one of the things I like about air shocks, just pump them up if you need more spring rate. But the seals can go on them and leave you riding a low rider, coil springs can sack out or break over time as well. No perfect system out there

Lol, I guess guys need to start looking into other options than or stick to stock and ride it.
Seems interesting that I put MXZ rear torsion springs on my G4 summit. Way More to my setup than that, but there is way more adjustment to torsion springs over a coil over.
Biggest thing I found with torsion spring delete kits is they are rough as Hell on the trail and I noticed no improvement to the skids performance unless the geometry was changed with it.

I find them more compliant in the bumps as well vs rear coil.

Holy hell you guys really need to give that nextech kit a try. That rear shock was buttery smooth and really helped keep the skis down.

Never tried that kit, but the setup I have works mint.

Did you just do fat boys or the titanium ones?

My cousin's buddy is Nextech is the Park.
Amazing what these guys put out of their "shop".
They come riding with every family day weekend.........drinking with us.
Nice guys, good to support local.
FOX dealer also.

I have the stock freeride springs and added spacers, plus my shocks are built, heavier center spring, heavier front springs ext. Works awesome.

Im not sure what kit your referring to, but Ive been down that full suspension road before. Im sure the kit your referring to is nice, and also pricey. As I mentioned about different suspension geometry in my previous post, it helped but I was never really satisfied with the harshness of the trail ride out, especially when riding in a area that does not have groomed trails.

I spent time talking to the industry pros about this very subject of the torsion springs. Im no means a suspension pro, but my findings are inline with their discussions, explanations and experience.

You may be surprised with the stock suspension, when yah get properly valved and sprung shocks front and rear in it, especially with a turbo under the hood.

It's just the rear shock.
About $1k.
