Raptor shocks?

2100 plus frt wow
I have them, they look great, I have heard great things.
LOL, I know not a lot to go on, but I have not had a chance to get out this year yet mostly because I started a new job. But I have high expectations. I talked with Kevin at K-Mod for a long time at the Salt Lake City Snow show this year and I really like what I hear. I was leaning toward the Z-Bros shocks and decided to go this route because my bro already had the Exit shocks. I think both are in the same class and are great shocks but wanted to try something new. I will at some point give a full review.
I know these are a little lighter than the Exit, but still heavier than a Fox Float. Obviously they use a coil spring so that is the additional weight.

Have them on the rear of my sled now.
Plan on removing my Floats from the front and replacing them with the Raptors as well!
VERY HAPPY.
VERY TRAIL ADJUSTABLE!
I have them on the front, as well as with the KMOD in the rear. Best mod money I've spent in years. These things flat work, and the harder you pound them the more they respond. Only downfall....everyone wants to "try" your shocks on the pounded out trail on the way home.
I have them all the way around on my m8 with a Kmod suspension. Much better than the evol R and revalved rears I had on before. Liked them so much on my M8 that I put them on my pro rmk. Way better on the Pro rmk over the stock walker evans. My body thanks me every day I ride with these shocks now.
Sounds like they are comparable to ohlins or zbros?
Jake from Raptor was out a few weeks ago for 5 days of testing, we got the1100t dialed in, Pro climb 800, New Pro Polaris, and the xp Ski Doo.
I was tired after 5 days of pounding bumps but the shocks worked awesome.
Here is a short vid of the IFS shocks on the Polaris in action.
Notice the triple rate spring working, the small pitches in the spring working all the time and then it gets into the larger pitch on the big stuff.
Also notice the attitude of the sled compared to how busy the shock is.
Very stable.
Thanks, Kevin

highly recommend
I would highly recommend them, we use them on our Apex-Pros. Best performing shocks we have used, up there with the Elka's.

Jus put em in the front of my boosted PC 8. They look like there going to be awesome. Was messing around with adjustments in the garage an it's amazing the dif settings you can get. Went on lil field ride with them an seem better than floats already. The real testing an report back starts on 27th for 3 weeks in Revy!
