I’m not a big fan of the falling rate suspensions. Had a m-10 in a 2004 viper s, Nice ride, but made it boring over field approaches and lost 10 mph top speed. I just bought a 2012 apex and while it rides like a caddie, it cannot handle a small g out bump, much less, aggressive ditch banging. I may keep my 2008 RTX and put a skid in it and and sell the 2012. The R-motion looks like a good canidate. I have to tear the pro-action ck out again and look but I suspect the rear suspension arm crossover tube has just broken again. If so, I am done with that skid. Or reinforce the hell out if it. I’ve already done the Carver shock rebuild with updated valving. Ride is acceptable, but not fantastic

Was not concerned about top end (and knew that with the M-10) I ride 30 more MPH faster over the #*$&@ and it will likely make the chassis stay in one piece for ever... WAY more valuable to me. To be Honest ... Plus your M10 was not an AIR. My sled is way faster on snow and trail (not lake) with the M-10 and the new 1-1/2" Intense track with some clutching adjustments. Best aftermarket item vs any performance add on I have ever bought in 40+ yrs in the saddle!I’m not a big fan of the falling rate suspensions.
