Prairie City SVRA – November 2012
Testing out the suspension on our RZR XP. Super pumped about our suspension! Wanted to test stock tires vs. 30″ tires to see how the big meat affected shock performance. Very happy to say that the FOX 2.5 shocks with Magnum Offroad, LLC valving exceeded our expectations. Super plush, but also able to handle big hits. And this is with settings set for desert (whoops, etc). We upgraded suspension parts to make the car more durable for the extreme environment we expect to see at King of The Hammers UTV race. Front a-arms are from Cognito Motorsports, Inc. High clearance rear radius links and axles from High Lifter Products. High clearance trailing arms from Lone Star Racing. Gusset kit from UTV Inc.
