The Stage 1 is our most accessible entry-level shock model designed to upgrade your Spyder’s suspension beyond the capabilities of the stock shocks

If you believe that your stock shocks are “good enough”, you probably never tried a set of properly calibrated aftermarket shocks. It is amazing how much difference our Stage 1 can make on your Spyder. Even if you just cruise along at moderate speed, these shocks will erase the bumps and get rid of the vibration so you can ride comfortably and in perfect control. However, the more you press the throttle, the more your Stage 1 shocks will come alive and make a night-and-day difference to the handling and performance of your Spyder.

STAGE 1  // BENEFITS

  • To upgrade from or replace stock OEM shocks
  • Our most accessible entry-level model
  • Simple to use, bolt-on upgrade for improved handling, stability and comfort
  • Model-specific tuning, calibrated for your personal weight and type of riding
  • Same quality components and careful craftsmanship as our higher-end models

STAGE 1 // AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS

  • Front shocks, 36mm, sold as a pair

  • Rear shock, 46mm, sold as a unit

STAGE 1 // ADJUSTMENT FEATURES

THREADED MANUAL OR REMOTE HYDRAULIC SPRING PRELOAD

Available as a manual threaded adjuster or convenient remote hydraulic preload adjuster. Lets the rider fine-tune the initial force applied on the springs and precisely balance the weight distribution across the front and rear of the vehicle while setting up the ride height (sag) and to lower or raise the vehicle to adapt to various situations or to suit your personal preference.

To use, turn the preload adjustment ring clockwise (from top of the shock) to increase preload and raise the vehicle or turn counter-clockwise to reduce preload and lower the vehicle.

STAGE 1 // TECHNICAL FEATURES (click title for details)

  • Components that are precision-machined from aeronautical grade billet aluminum
  • Sleek, lightweight reservoir with recessed cap to better protect the nitrogen valve
  • Ultra-light spring design with bigger outside diameter and less coil turns, providing important weight reduction while maintaing the reliability and intuitive ride-height adjustability of coil springs vs. air springs
  • Reduced weight and friction = less stiction and lower operating temperature = more resistance to fading
  • Crossover spacers design that reduces the accumulation of debris, therefore reducing wear on the body
  • Optional lightweight composite shock protectors to provide further protection against roost and other debris
  • Neutral look and colors that blends well with any quad model and livery
  • Hard-anodized aluminium internal floating piston for low operating temperature
  • Aluminum body that dramatically reduces overal weight and better dissipates heat
  • Hard-anodized to very tight tolerances to improve durability and further reduce friction
  • Special thread design on the aluminum body that provides more surface and less friction to making preload adjustments much easier
  • Provides a smooth surface that helps reduce internal friction inside the body
  • More durable finish than regular sulphuric anodization generally used on lower-end products
  • Hard chrome-plated shafts
  • Fully synthetic proprietary blend
  • Ultra-low friction light viscosity grade
  • Ultra-resistant to high temperature
  • Extended usable life
