LPIdaho · Jun 22, 2015

Just a heads up for anyone interested:

Fox Floats are 40% off on Polaris.com right now for a summer clearance event.

$657/ set vs $1095 normally.

http://www.polaris.com/en-us/snowmobiles/shop/accessories/sale

They have some other good deals but these are the real stand out.

Those are the fronts. The rear skid floats are also available, Burandt front and rear, for $717 US. Doesn't look like you can buy just one or other, just the pair. You'll likely never see new that low priced again.

Anyone on this side know if these shocks will fit a pro climb/viper mtx?

Not sure about rears, but the fronts are too short. 38" front end on a proclimb/viper takes a 17.1" shock and the 13-15 Pro font end takes a 16.625" shock. Even if they did fit, you would still need to have them re-valved correctly to have any benefit from them.

damn, i spent $2300 on them 6 months ago! havent been about to tune them in very well with the lack of snow, awesome on big hits, really stiff on small bumps going down trail

gdhillon · Jun 23, 2015

any idea how long this sale will last?

Or is it just to get rid of those shocks from their stock?

i am using the carls setup, i had them set up per their recomendations then have kinda been fiddling with them, i got the fronts first and they have been sooooooooooo good like 200% better than stock, so i got the rears, and they are great on the jumps and mountain riding, more stiff and harsh on the trails tho. i dont know what weight ridier their setup is for tho. im about 220 all geared up with av pack. we will see, just needed more time on the snow

Decisions Decisions.

Was looking to upgrade the stock WE shocks on my 14 Pro. Was leaning towards Raptors - haven't found any negative feedback on the Raptors. The price of the Fox Floats on sale are hard to pass up though.

Anyone use/ride with both of these setups share some experience? A lot of the feedback on the Fox Floats on here indicate they are hard to get dialed in. Looking to upgrade both the front ski shocks ad both skid shocks. I am running the Alt Impact 36" front end.

Thanks in advance.

Raptors are far and away better than the floats, even the double evol version that Burandt runs on his actual sled. These floats are probably better than stock for most people and the price right now is the real driver.

Normal riding, 225lbs fully geared, 39" front end, running 55/80 (main/evol) rebound 9 clicks, shocks rebuilt annually, really like it. Front is very compliant, but can take hits, huge difference from stock. Rear usually starts at 130/145 last season, but I've run from 120/140 to 135/160, rebound 10-12 clicks, can take big hits with more pressure, but compliance on a whooped out stretch is tough to find without sacrificing travel. No complaints in deep snow. Running about 0.75 inch of preload on the front skid shock. Stock Carl's valving all around, gonna try another rear setup this year.

i had my local dealer price match the shocks. saved me the shipping cost.
polaris’s shipping charges are outrageous.
i almost bought a set of these for $1400 at the end of the year, but the deal fell through.
got them for just a little less at the dealer!!
