Logan, UT (1/6/2007) - ARS-FX, manufacturer
of premium suspension products for ATV’s and Snowmobiles
has developed and released the X1 shock absorber. The
X1 is the first of a series of new performance shock
absorbers that ARS-FX will be bringing to the market
in the next few months. Heading up the team behind the
design and development of the ARS-FX shocks, is renowned
ATV suspension expert Michael Hallock.
The new X1 shock will be used on both snowmobiles
and ATV’s and will be available in either piggyback
or remote reservoir configurations. Front shocks will
utilize a triple spring configuration, all of which
are made of high tensile quality wire. Triple spring
combinations have the flexibility to obtain a variety
of spring progression curves, allowing the shocks
be tuned for a wide range of applications and terrain.
Triple spring combinations are also flexible in that
they can be easily tuned by changing the springs and
crossovers, which are easily removed, via a circlip
style spring retainer. Once the desired spring curve
is established, for any given application, the shocks
can then be further “dialed in”, using
the external dampening adjusters.
Almost every component on the X1 shock is custom
machined from either billet aluminum or stainless
steel, to very tight tolerances, giving the X1 very
consistent settings. All aluminum components are then
anodized to prevent oxidation and oil contamination.
All ARS-FX shocks, beginning with the X1, have been
designed for increased hydraulic flow, producing smooth
and consistent dampening throughout the entire shock
stroke, even at high shaft speeds. Also unique to
ARS-FX dampers, is their own, specially formulated,
suspension fluid. Standard fluid in all X1 and future
ARS-FX shock absorbers.
The X1 shock absorbers can be used either with or
without ARS-FX a-arms, dramatically enhancing the
performance of either the stock suspension or long
travel ARS-FX components. Each shock is then custom
built for the given application, taking in account
rider weight, and riding style. “The release
of the X1 shock is a big step forward for ARS-FX because
it is allows us to offer complete suspension kits,
that include both a-arms and a shock absorbers. Unlike
most companies on the market, who either produce a-arms
or shocks, ARS-FX kits are designed to work together.
With the ability to design and manufacture both components,
it gives us greater development flexibility to produce
complete packages, that work together, yielding better
results.” says Lance Zollinger, Marketing Manager
for ARS-FX and Zbroz Racing.
With the addition of the new X1 line of shock absorbers,
ARS-FX continues to push the envelop of performance
products to a new level. ARS-FX….”Art
in Motion.”
