front shock question

[RSD]

I have the floats and would like to soften the ride but don't like loosing the height would standard nytro shocks be better or are there other down sides

 

[08NitroRTX]

They are softer than your floats!

We NEED a shock in between the two!


I will be rebuiling a set of MTX shocks and putting compression adjustable resivours on them next week! Hopefully thatwil be the ticket until the Ohlins come in.....

A cheap way to slightly soften up the ride... a larger volume slows the ramp up of pressure.

Penske is coming out with air shocks they offered to set the RTX up for me but I was to tired to wait. Whatever they put in from stock I ran and it wasnt overly stiff at all. They can take big hits and do just fine. A little less pressure may help out with ski lift though but there are other thing contributing to that. I have never rode a rider forward sled that cornered like a conventional chasis. Im going to try with this one but if I cant get it right ill have someone else set it up for me

Doesn't fox sell an external air reservoir for the floats?

I know they make a shock with an external air reservoir but dont know if that is an add on

We sell an add-on air resevoir. See link to our website in my signature below for details.

I personally run these on my '06 Nytro and have had great results.

Isnt Penske the parent company of Custom Axis?

 

[unpride]

Not exactly sure but I think you are right. Was talking to guy that designed then and hes saying good things. They had Axis on the trailer. What is Axis

 

[snownutz]

I thought I saw them somewhere

I know hygear suspensions is doing fox float res add on's. My buddy got a set for his apex...no miles yet, so no feedback.
