New Rear Shock

[GRIZZSTER]

Tired of my fox mega on my 2011 apex SE. Smooth trails I love it.. End of day moguls not so much.. It's either 10km/h or 100km/h to get through it. Should I buy KYB, Ohlins or Axis? Looks like only stage 2 Ohlins for my sled in the REAR. Axis is quite expensive.. Not sure what available or where toget KYB. Is this just a waste of time and need a different skid?

Get an older KYB from the classifieds or a wrecker. Have it rebuilt and revalved for your weight and riding style. Add in a multi rate spring with that and you good to go.

Following this one.....
I have a 2013 standard Apex. After a revalve of the stock kyb it rides pretty good. However, I really dislike how there is only rebound adjustment on this shock where as my previous 07 had the ohlins with compression, rebound, and I could easily change the spring.

Does anyone know if the+2011 sleds still has the wiring if I wanted to go to the ohlins? I thought I read in the past you could just add the wiring harness and the ohlins to give you an electronic rear......

Thanks for any help. I have not tried the mega float but coming from motocross...I want adjustability.

Thanks

I ended up getting the hygear dual pressure system for the front fox shocks and an Elka stage 2 coil over for the rear, set up for my weight to replace the Megafloat. I also replaced the track with a new ripsaw 2 track and studs. Hope I get some improvement
