Sonic Offroad - Sonic Edge ATV Anti Roll System
The Sonic Spider IRS Kit

Get Your Power to the Ground

Easton, PA (7/5/2006) - The Sonic Spider IRS Kit presents the first ever patent pending Independent rear suspension kit for racing ATV’s.

Going fast isn’t entirely horse power when it comes to ATV racing. If you can’t get the power to the ground, an extra 5 horse power will only result in extra wheel spin. As a matter of fact, the limit to acceleration in all types of racing is tire traction. It’s the mere reason why the serious racers use new tires every race instead of warn tires, or the same reason Formula 1 uses independent suspension instead of non-independent suspension. TRACTION MAKES YOU FASTER. If a new set of tires is something anyone can buy then what’s the next step? INDEPENDANT SUSPENSION!

Fortunately, the knowledgeable engineers and skilled technicians at Sonic Offroad Inc. have come up with an easy solution to your traction problems. Sonic Offroad Inc. has come out with the exclusive patent pending IRS solution for your preexisting racing ATV. First tested on the Canondale Moto and further tested on the Honda 450, Yamaha YFZ 450, and the Suzuki Quad Racer R450, the Sonic Spider IRS Kit is available as an easy upgrade to almost any ATV.

Andrew Ciasulli, the president of Sonic Offroad Inc. says “The spider kit should take the market by storm.” “Not only does it look fast, it makes your ATV handle like a dream and only takes an hour to assemble.” The kit comes pre-adjusted to minimize down time and to make the conversion as easy as possible. The Sonic Spider Kit attaches to the same frame mounts as your exiting swing arm and your rear shock.

Sonic Offroad Inc. has been developing off-road race cars for years. Their true love and knowledge lies in the development of off-road suspension that works. The Sonic Spider IRS Kit raises the ground clearance to an astounding 11 inches in the rear and gives the rider 12 inches of rear suspension travel. It is also designed to take those frontward impacts by raking the a-arms back a few degrees like most front ATV suspension. The racers and designers at Sonic Offroad believe the GNCC racers will benefit the most from this unit. The increased ground clearance makes it possible to clear rocks and other obstacles that would appose a hang-up threat to conventional ATV’s. Cost savings will also be seen by the rider because the chance of smashing the rear rotor and sprocket greatly diminishes. This advantage will also keep the racer racing instead of dealing with that dreaded DNF or possible wreck due to a bent rotor that bound the rear axle.
The Sonic Spider Kit has a 4130 chromoly sub-frame to which the a-arms, shocks, center axle, caliper and rotor mount to. The sub-frame is easily attached to the ATV frame at the swing arm bolt and the stock upper shock mount bolt. An adjustable tie bar links the sub frame to the ATV at the upper shock mount bolt. This tie bar link is adjustable for the rider to adjust the ride height of the rear as well as the rear suspension pitch. The kit comes with fox float shocks, but coil-over shocks are available as a price adder.


   

IRS presents a great traction benefit to ATV’s, but the greatest improvement is the handling in the rough sections such as braking bumps. The weight of the moving suspension links is less than half the weight of the conventional swing arm suspension. The lighter suspension links allows the ATV to respond to bumps much faster. On a normal ATV the braking bumps compress the suspension and the mass of the swing arm throws the rear of the ATV almost bucking the rider over the handlebars. On the Spider kit the rider is able to pickup seconds in a section like this because the rider can go much faster over the bumps without being tossed over the bars. Another great benefit to the IRS is landing off a jump. With conventional suspension landing on one rear wheel can toss the rider over the far corner, but with independent suspension landing on one rear tire soaks up the impact and lessens rider fatigue.

Price: $3400.00 for a limited time
