ICE AGE EXCLUSIVE – ARCTIC CAT 1.5 QS3R LIGHTWEIGHT COIL

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.
