I had the originals. Okay in the skid. Terrible as ski shocks

I hated them all around lol. I always bought the lower model cats because of those crappy shocks on the snopros. The float 3’s got much better and evols, qs3’s etc got even better and better

Does any body know what the length is on the 174 rear shock? And what the length is on the 163/154/146 rear shock?

I have the fronts now. I didnt want to talk them up.too much till i had em haha

But these shocks are an air spring but they have a hydraulic oil damper.

They are like a regular shock, without the coil. The evol is a second air chamber and gives you a progressive rate spring.

These are the non resi version. But they still work wicked for jumping due to.the evol chamber

If you were a racer, or ride whoops real hard the resi version would be better. But way too much $$ for this sled.

For the rear, not a lot.of options really.

Elkas or Raptors. Both are big $$$


What i could do is revalve the rear shocks really stiff and then just rebuild them often.

And maybe switch out to.bomber rails.

Because thats the biggest problem with sending a 174 is it easy to bend rails if you dont land perfect

I have a red bar pad at my shop, gonna switch to that. Got some skinny grips but no way the warmer would fit under.

So need hand warmers and factory grips

I just got my first sled with skinny bars. Don’t love them but I wear an XXL glove so never had a problem with normal grips and bars.

Ya i think they are too skinny. Once the warmers are on hopefully are a bit better.

Right now drinking garage beers i hate em
