Hey guys for everyone thinking about going Long Travel and not wanting to break the bank, there is a new kit coming out shortly from Makin Trax. It takes an S suspension and coverts it to an XP trailing arm suspension.
Finally to the part you guys are waiting for . Well first off I want to describe the test vehicle. I have a Rzr S with a weber snowmobile engine swap with a Turbo producing 130 HP. This rzr flies right up China Wall no problem and hits 85 MPH on the GPS on the hard pack and gets there in a hurry running @ 15lbs of boost.
The test and review....I took it down to Parker over Presidents weekend where they run parts of the Best in the Desert Parker 425. For those of you unaware of the terrain, it has long wooped out sections. We felt that this would be the best test for the new suspension. The kit was unbelievable how it soaked up some of the narly woops. The handling through them was one of my favorite aspects. The second best part of the suspension was the ability it gave me to hit the corners much faster than the S suspension. Hitting the gas through the corners keeps the Rzr right on track. I found the S suspension unable to handle the extra power of the weber and the car simply outdrove the suspension. This new trailing arm kit corrects that unbalance and allows me to run the rzr faster and harder than ever before. The video will show the first testing of the kit. The average speeds were between 45 and 60 with speeds of up to 65 mph. I wasnt able to get video but we did the same course with a passenger and the suspension still kicked @ss. Didnt bottom out and hit the woops around the same speeds. Overall this kit was similar to the jump I made from Stock suspension to S suspension. It was that much of an improvement.
