Happy new years fellows. Okay on my 2015 viper sdxtx 141 I want to improve the rear ride, only option is to go with hygears products as they have several options. So who out there has installed there linkage, the reservoir, the linkage and reservoir, or the coil over shock on there sled? I want to know the outcome of this change and if it truly helps out with the ride and it's worth spending the cash.

Three pages of responses in a previous thread of same question:

Read my post on why I chose the coilover over the reservoir option, I think it's a no-brainer...
There are other threads too, just search for "Hygear".
Another hint: if you visit their booth at the snowmobile shows, they usually offer a 10% discount coupon...

The Hygear linkage and dual pressure definitely makes a difference; I had it on a 141" Cat that we owned "briefly" before trading it in for a Sidewinder. I went with QS3 coil-overs on my 2016 XTX, and love them. I improved my ride greatly, and still have a fully uncoupled skid. At some point Yamaha gave up on the Floats, and started putting the QS3's on the 141" skid, and has carried that through to the new 146" XTX's, so they obviously recognized the benefit.
