With input from our Backcountry Team, including Dave McClure, the new FOX lightweight mountain shocks improved ride quality is as significant as their weight savings. This technology has trickled down from our trophy truck engineering successes. Simply put, we’ve freed the shock to move comfortably by using internal grooves to bypass oil around the piston in the ride zone while providing increased bottom-out resistance for those big hits by eliminating the grooves in the last 30% of travel. This provides the plushness to ride all day with the control you need for maximum fun. Our objective? Retain that great FOX ride feel while increasing bottom-out control, especially in coil-over shock applications.
For Arctic Cat, this shock is especially beneficial over the stock equipment, as the internal bypass grooves and position sensitive damping give the Cat platform -which is down on travel compared to the competition - a ride that feels like it has an extra few inches of plushness.
These shocks were co-developed with ELEVATE for Arctic Cat in mind, and work exceptionally well with our ELEVATE Alpha geometry.

This shock is hands down the biggest performer for the dollar you will see on a modern mountain sled. The new lightweight coil spring and adjuster make for simple easy to change adjustments without the need for tools. Couple this with the simple to adjust QS3 switch and you can go from powder carves to rough trail with the flip of a switch. No more fumbling with tiny iced up knobs and tiny adjustments you can't feel, the Quick Switch technology makes adjustment simple and clear. The positions represent real changes a rider can feel for easy to understand setting adjustments. Large background numbering makes it easy to see which position you are in. The QS3 tech is the perfect match for the mountain snowmobilers needs from novice to expert.
