ok guys heres my problem. i am doin a sv1 swap and was thinkin i should upgrade my suspension why i was at it. i have sold my xmf kit and had a buddy that was gonna sell me his xtr kit for cheap, well turns out jim has some killer deals on the cognito kit with the fox position sensiitive shocks, well i hit up greg at lsr and he made me a great deal to! the lsr is more but it does have lifetime warrnety no questions asked where cognito has a manufacture defect warrenty then after that each claim will just depend on situation. i know i am gonna push this thing hard and im trying to decide which to go with......

any input from guys who have experince with both would be great! also i want to say that both of these companies have amazing customer support and have been easy to talk to and very helpful with any questions i have had so far!!!

I have the cognito boc shock tower kit and I have to say I have riden in a few other rhinos out there with different LT kits and nothing compares to the Cognito kit that I have. I started racing the worcs races and the courses have been very rough and the kit I have can take anything I throw at it. The cognito guys know what there doing and have truley the best kit out IMO right now. and spend the extra money to get the fox boc shocks.

MX I am a new guy here and only have one good run on my Cognito RC2 LT kit, but I can tell you in all honesty that I have no regrets at all.
Once you dial the shocks in the the system is nothing short of amazing.
Having spent a long time on the phone with Jim at Cognito I am certain that if I have problem (unlikely at best) they will treat me right.
FWIW...

Go back to Xmf

that was my question. What was wrong with the XMF kit?

I've worked for Greg's SR1 teams (LOORS) and also on Brian B's Rotax Rhino (Desert Racer). Both of those machines suspensions are top notch (XTR-F). Weller recently switched from XMF to LSR. LSR has spent a TON of time with Fox tuning their suspension and also have a full season of racing under their belt to know how to get a better setup. All that plus a lifetime warranty. IMO it is a no brainer.

Here is a video of them tuning Brian's Rhino last year

Personally, I have a LSR (w/Elkas) on my Teryx and everyone comments on how well my Teryx rides. I just recently destroyed my steering box while blasting through a wash and found a nice boulder. I was worried I might have bent an arm or a frame tab, but nothing! Great product!

This in no way takes away from Cognito. Just my opinion.

Well when you put it that way I raced with Monster Energy Kawasaki's Robert Vanbeekum, Austin Kimbrell and Mike Lasher, even help out Dan Kelly. They all have Xmf kits on them. I've seen Lasher crack an arm after hit a big rock and still finished 200 more miles in the race to get a third place. Dan Kelly came out to the last loorrs race with a brand new Xmf car, no testing on it, left the weekend with a second place...

I could go on but you should get the point




Weller switched to lsr because they wanted to the rear arm back 1 inch.
