Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted February 17, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 17, 2020 Well considering you have a 50/50 shot at winning as there are only 2 sleds in the category I'm not sure how much bragging rights this gives Polaris. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really perfection in a shock. The exact opposite of the walkers Have you ever ridden a sled with the velocity shocks? And if you did, did you adjust them to your liking? Because they have a very wide range of adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They felt lumberwagon stuff like every walker shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The xcr indy was way undersprung I know that. Put HDs in mine and its amazing now and much easier to adjust the shocks rather then full hard on HI and LO speed.

SSFB Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 My fronts are working well since Tom worked on them. I need to service the skid this summer so I should send him the skid shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure you know what youre doing? I put softer springs on mine and it was bottoming pretty regularly. I cranked up the dampening and the low speed and now its perfect.

You'll have that shock blown out like your bunghole in no time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go read the countless thread on FB and hcs about guys bitching about soft rears on the xcr. If they only knew cranking it fixed it from bottoming. You have a different skid ffs.
