Are the shocks on the Freeride bad, good or great? Are the shocks on the X any good? Where can you buy triple rate springs for the stock Freeride or X shocks?

My Opinion.. The X shocks are a waste unless you have them revalved. They are soft and have cheap lightweight parts and non adjustable. Freeride shocks much much better but still not the best. Bigger stronger shafts and some adjustability.

I think the Freeride shocks are pretty dang good... they have a bunch of adjustability to them. I didn't pound them to mush, but with my 250lbs on the sled and a little adjusting I found them to be very good.

They are fine other than they are valved for a 12 year old girl that was my only complaint on my freeride!
