2020 850 Summit X front shock questions.

[Rick E]

Well... I did it. I just bought a new left-over 2020 Summit X in the 154" track. It has the X package options..... adjustable rear shock damping, limiter strap adjustment, etc.
I am a farily well seasoned rider, but I am also an older person (71). I do mostly trail riding, and a few occasional hill climbs.

My questions for those of you with the same sled and who have experience with front shock options:

1...... Stay with the OEM front shocks? (there is no external damping adjusting on these that I am aware of)
2..... Install the Fox Float 3 Evol shocks? ( I have a new pair of these here)
3..... Install the KYB Easy Adjust compression damping shocks with two adjusters each? (also have a new pair of these here)

What are your thoughts?

Here is a short video showing the exact same sled that I bought.

It’s pretty good out of the box!
Set-up should be about perfect for your weight.
Don’t touch anything until you flog it for a few days

This thread will be in the "cold case" file cabinet by the time that I'm able to flog it.... but thank you. I'll do that!



By the way, this was my previous thread from when I was questioning which sled to purchase.

850 Summit X vs 850 SP ????

A few weeks ago, I got a chance to ride a 2019 850 Summit SP 154 and loved it. The SP has the wider ski stance and the standard suspension, whereas the X has the more narrow stance and the better suspension. So..... I am considering picking up a new or newer 850 154 w 3" paddles this spring or...
