Coupling an XTX suspension

[Jim Crace]

So, I had a 2014 XTX SE and liked it for the the occasional boondocking but I mainly trail ride...I was thinking of moving to the 137...but instead bought the STX DX...I came across the coupling kit from Racewerx...wondering if anyone has added this and if it gives you the handling of the 137....any feedback would be great.

Why not try the Hygear Linkage kit and even the Evol add on for rear shock? I have never heard a 141 owner who trail rides who wasnt very happy with that kit.

Hygear’s kit compliments that style skid and really is the best way to go.

Just adding a coupled block will throw off the intended geometry of that skid and probably be very unhappy with the overall ride.

Might even break it.
