Mine have never leaked.

If you have a 19 Alpha you better keep a close eye on the front track shock. Mine leaks and so do a lot of others. There is a reason that shock has been changed on all the 20 models.

None my shocks have leaked on my Alpha.
Mine is a November build.
Very strong snowflap too, doesn't get erect like all the 2012-2018s as soon as u get off trail.

I will have to pull over a new CTEC engine. My Suzuki with a high compression head is a bugger to pull over when it's really cold. If the CTEC is easier, I may just go with a pull start. Yes, the Mountain Cat may be the best way to go.

I also think that the low pricing on the 2020 Alphas will absolutely destroy the desire for someone to want to buy a left over 2019 Alphas unless the rebates are increased a bit.

They get pelted with debris when riding in low snow (snirt) conditions. I noticed that the shock body was getting pitted on my 18 MC, which is hard on the air sleeve seal.

I ended up making a protective bellows out of an old steering rack boot to protect the shock from rock damage. So far it's working out great.
