Walker Evans hands down. Great company , plenty of testing and design into the shocks. Super happy with the way they work on my 2 seat 900 and extremely predictable

Fox in my book!
Excellent support, even trackside at a lot of races in a lot of series.
Innovating constantly, wait till you see what is coming next for the xp1000

Kings - because its what came with my long travel kit.

I like to keep it simple...let the manufacturer do all the testing and all I need to do is bolt them on. On Rhinos, back in the day, Bilstein and W.E. Did a great job at this for the everyday riders. Now days it seems Fox and W.E. Are the go to brands. Other manufacturers make great shocks, but you may need to do your own testing and adjustments to dial them in. I went with the Fox RC2 2.0s on my last RZR and they were awesome out of the box. I understand for best performance every shock needs dialed to a specific car, weight, driver, driving style. That said I think You can't go wrong with Fox, King, W.E., etc....for quality...but for ease of setup I think W.E. and Fox have made it easy. To get you close to perfect in a bolt shock that may need a click here or there and a little preload adjustment.

Fox on both my rides because that's what they came with! Whoops, I forgot I've also got Fox on the front of my super duty and Kings on the back. Fox on the front cause that's what came with a lift kit, and Kings on the back because I just had them laying around.

You didn't mention Bandit Shocks which I just purchased for my RZR 570. I haven't tested them yet but I'll let you know my results.

ADS Shocks.... http://www.adsmach.com/ They are the guys that more and more of the TT/Class 1 big dollar racers are turning to...You will see their trailer at BITD/SCORE/KOH etc races providing support on par if not exceeding KING etc...they are dedicated to providing a superior product and support not only to the BIG $ teams... but to the serious 4x4/offroader.

They are building custom Shocks for Polaris, Can Am and Artic Cat...and can any handle most any other application

X2 on ADS Great shocks with great support! ADS supports lots of local racers as well as some big teams. This means lots of R&D so the rec. rider gets a top quality product without the big company markup!

Walker Evans Racing Shocks. Excellent quality, support, and technology (needle shocks). Made in Riverside California and not overseas. They made you 'go faster and jump higher,'

Fox.
Great support and a great product, I have them on my bike UTV and truck. Very familiar with the piston and valving setups.

We are going to broaden your horizons real soon Mr Reed...real soon...

 

[AReed]

I've put as much effort into it as I can. It's their move now

Man, the most proven and successful shocks in off road racing history doesn't even make the list. Bilstein simply revolutionized the sport with their shock technology. Guess enough of you have not had the pleasure of experiencing them. Have packages for the XP900 XP4900 and soon...........?

[AReed]

I'm just not familiar with the digressive or dished pistons that some of the Bilsteins use. That and the don't have a lot of support for the UTV market

 

[BiggJim]

There is more than one brand of Shocks

 

[VBosch02]

AFCO silver series shocks. Tuned by Steve at Makin Trax Suspension work awesome!

 

[tatum]

I have worked with King, Fox, and Elka through race teams and they are all high quality shocks. I was the most impressed with Kings ability to tune their shocks.
