New Product: ZMotion 3/4" Offset Rear Linkage

LPIdaho · Feb 1, 2016

Now available: ZMotion 3/4" Offset Rear Linkage

Offsetting the rear arm on XM sleds is a popular mod that adds numerous benefits especially when hillclimbing.

Our pro riders testing this product have been able to let their limiter strap out enough to gain nearly 1" of additional front shock travel, while maintaining ski pressure, which is a huge advantage in all riding situations!

The ZMotion rear scissor is superior to just simply moving your stock scissor back because it maintains proper geometry of your suspension components relative to each other.
What that means is your sled will work and ride better!

And for those that are conscious of every gram, the ZMotion link is also 40g lighter than stock.

Nice, who are your "pro riders?"

Cute.

The offset "geometry" gimmick is awesome.
Matches the t motion theory.

This is a nice piece. I move mine back 3/4" on my sleds but the problem with the stock piece is it lowers the rear suspension when you do it. I'll be buying one of these.

No gimmick here, geometry is a real thing

Thanks, that's exactly right. This link will keep the suspension up, where it should be, at the stock height

how would this work in conjunction with Sledhead Racing relocate brackets??

I was about to ask the same thing. In 2014 I ran the bandit drop brackets on my Xm. Loved it. I can only imagine this would make it even better.

Two pivot points connected with a straight piece is way different geometry than Two pivot points connected with a offset piece?
I can see how it will look the same angle as stock.
Is the new piece longer than the stock piece?
That would change the geometry.....

Don't get me wrong i have moved the rear scissor bolt back on alot of sleds. I know the benefits.
The geometry thing is hilarious though.

I'm not sure. I can't find anything on their website about their brackets so I have no idea what they actually do and by how much they do it.

They just relocate the skid to the t3 skid position, with new drop brackets and a new backing plate for the front of the skid.

If it maintains the same ride height and mounts back further, one has to assume it is longer.

hundreds of thousands of dollars spent for brp engineers and who would of thought this 155 piece would make it right.... :face-icon-small-dis

Ok very cool. I agree with you guys that the brackets and our link should pair up really nicely!

LPIdaho · Feb 10, 2016

We have already sold out of our first production run on these! Machining more of them this week, hope to have them ready to ship by the end of the week.

Maybe someone could clear this up for me...I have a 16 T-3 X and was wondering if this would work for me or just for the SP's to make them like mine??? Looking for something to keep the front end down so I can keep my foot in it and not lose momentum. Thanks

It should work on all XM, ( T3, SP) etc.

Just got mine for my T3 174 X to try to lower air pressures in my fox floats.

It is a very nice piece, CNC billet, great looking machine work. Bobby did excellent job! Looking forward to trying it out.
