They seem to work good cold but if your hitting a bunch of whooped out sections and the shock heats up it fades and turns into a screen door closer quality shock. Not worth the money. Spend it on a top quality conventional unit for better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between it being about as fast as a 600 sled the shocks were a big disappointment as well. The issue is when you start out and the shocks are cold they do seem to work ok but if you get into a few miles of stutter bumps the shock heats up and the computer control disappears and the shock fades away and rides like a pile of shit. 3 people from different groups all say the same thing. These are not diamond pounder types and ride pretty aggressive through all conditions so others might not have the same results but they do exist.

Roosting Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It could very well be a calibration thing where they missed the mark on warm shock calibration but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted February 22, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 After riding my Sidewinder more this past weekend up north it continues to impress the hell out of me on the trails. I've said it over and over again the procross chassis is not as playful as the other but damn its a cornering animal. If Cat comes with a 900 and Poo doesn't I'm going to order the Cat even in the old Chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both her and I agree it feels much larger than the Axys. Engine and clutching are simply outstanding. It is an awesome sled and I could easily have one as my main ride.

I have a 22 and it’s nice but can’t say it’s amazing handling compared to the cat. mind you that’s 4 stroke vs 2 stroke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He puts about 5k-7k on per year and buys new every year. He's been on an xrs since 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
