Pioneer Performance, Hygear and Schmidt Bros all should have the fox zero pro.
I took my rear shock to Pioneer Performance last week for repairs after it froze up. I was told it has wear issues and probably not worth servicing again so I'm also looking at possibly replacing it with a Fox Zero Pro or Ohlins if I can find one at a reasonable price. I replaced the center shock last season with an Ohlins after the OEM failed. The Ohlins is a good shock but any of the center shocks with a piggy back reservoir requires removing the inner idler wheel which causes increases hyfax wear. I relocated the inner wheels with custom mounts.

Just ordered a Fox zero pro shock, will I be to get the shock off/on with relative ease? I didn't even look to close on how it comes out, I was doing the suspension adjustments Grizz gave me when I looked at the threads on the shock body and it's got a giant split! I simply walked away at that point in disgust, now I see how common it is. The new shock from Carver will be delivered next week, valved to my weight and riding style.

Installed my new Fox zero center shock, adjusted my other shocks as suggested by grizz, 70psi up front, removed the transfer blocks and it was a world of difference! I did 25 miles in mostly fresh powder on our farm with 12"+ of snow everywhere. I slowed the dampening 1 click and increase the compression harder 2 clicks, seem to work better in the powder. The new Fox zero was valved for my weight and aggressive trail riding performed good......but, all powder riding is not the usual! Not sure if the snows going to hang around much longer here in lower Michigan to get it back on a trail system but I think I'm getting it dialed in pretty good. By the end of the day I had this Nytro railing around a beaten down path on the farm. The 6.9 pilots worked great in the powder, but aren't that great on the trails with lots of pushing in the corners and too much float on fresh groomed trails......although I did have a split center shock! All in all, this sled continously puts a grin on my face, gets attention everywhere, sounds awesome. ....and I haven't even clutched it or piped it yet!
