POLARIS ASSAULT SUSPENSION STIFFNESS | THE REAL REASON WHY YOU GET BOUNCED AROUND ON YOUR ASSAULT! 

Getting ready to snow check either a ‘25 Assault or XC, so appreciate the video. If you’re more of a 50/50 on-off trail rider would it make more sense to get XC with Fox shocks? Seems the shocks are the major difference between the two sleds. Appears like the XC would preform well off trail unless you are a very aggressive mountain rider.

I’m fat. Did fat kid torsions and a 225 lb/in front track spring (stock fts spring is too soft) It’s wayyyyyy better

Is there any adjustment I can make with the stock set up to soften the initial mogul impact toward the front of the track suspension. It hits ao hard I'm literally riding 10 mph slower than my XCR riding buddy just to avoid losing my filings. Being riding for decades and this is the harshest rear suspension I've ever experienced. I don't have any issues with the rear springs. All of my concerns are when the track comes into the mogul, it feels like there is zero compression taking place. What avalve adustment can I make to soften this up and to which shock? Thank you!

So it assaults your back out of the box , it’s not just a cool name it’s actually a warning, I always liked those sleds haven’t rode one though , another great video

I’m curious on how the valving on the switchback xc compares

Where’s the video where y’all talk about setting the compression on the FTS vs the RTS? Guess I’m gonna have to come down to Bruce 🤣

Great video once again! I’m sledless right now and not sure what to get next. The stiff ride was my only complaint with the Assault, even with revalved shocks. Sounds like you guys have it dialed in a bit better!

I’m 270 lbs with gear and played with the front shock spring which I tightened 1/8 shocks are on 2 and rear spring on soft and it’s amazing off trail and on in the rough but bottoms on g outs and jumps but usually standing anyway NE Saskatchewan riding area

Would putting the Walker Evans high/low clicker shocks increase the on trail performance without ruining the performance off trail?

Do you or Bruce have a video out yet on this new polaris stop ride recall on the Matryx clutch? Got the notice in the mail in July but I have not heard anything from my dealer on whats going to happen?

I'll forward this to the real Jesse James 😂

Just got home from work and blessed with a video! Have a good one Jesse✌️ My shocks are on the way to Bruce!

So does the switchback XC with the fox set up have the same valving as the Assault?

I'm 220 without gear and this is absolutely my only complaint with the sled. So much so I keep thinking about switching to an XCR when I don't want to. When trails are groomed or just not rutted up it's a dream sled. But once it's whooped up it fucking sucks. I'll literally have a headache when I get off the trail from it.

Wouldn’t putting Indy valving in the Assault shocks greatly hinder its off trail performance?

This sled would benefit greatly from a factory smart shock set up.

So for this setup do you send all 4 shocks in or just the two in the skid? What would it cost to re-valve them, my shocks have 1200 miles on them currently? Thanks!

Hey! When are they going to make a sled with air ride! lol
