    Btx set up

    mine doesn't have evols either as it's a 2018 SE model... I'm understanding of why they use the cheaper shocks... and really if all I did was trail ride easy the Float 3's would suffice.... However I'm neither a slow rider or a gentle one... these shocks will simply not survive my abuse...

    2019 release

    They will have an SRX! It will have electronic launch control, refined handlebars, a suspension lockout for drag racing, and better skis.... And I bet they redefine the sidewinder as a 200hp class sled with skinnier side panels But wouldn't it be cool to see a factory 250hp SRX Version!
