Polaris RZR S Replacement Shocks
Fox 2.0 Piggyback RC2
Information:
2.0 Coil-Over Piggyback RC2 (Dual Speed Compression
and Rebound Adjustment)
From short-course racing, to pounding through the
dunes or hauling a load - The 2.0 RC2 provides consistent, heavy-duty,
fade-free damping performance.
The demanding requirements of performance side-by-side
vehicles necessitate a large diameter piggyback reservoir shock. The Fox
2.0" coil-over piggyback shock, now available with dual speed compression
adjust and rebound adjust will let you fine-tune your ride and handling to
suit personal preference and terrain. The large diameter shock body and
piggyback reservoir help to dissipate heat and keep things running cool.

Fox 2.0 Piggyback RC2 for the Polaris RZR S
The installation is a piece of cake. All you need is a
jack, 15mm socket and wrench and about 45 minutes. Everything bolts
right up.

The standard Fox settings increase the ride height over stock about an inch
or so.
Ride Review:
Triple Adjustments
The
Fox 2.0 Piggyback RC2 come with
High/Low Speed Compression Adjust and
Rebound Adjust that all have 24 different settings.
Low-Speed Compression Adjustment
Low-Speed Compression Adjustment primarily affects the compression damping
during slow suspension movements such as g-outs or smooth jump landings.
Choose a setting that gives good body control (roll in corners, dive under
braking, squat under acceleration, etc.) without causing excessive harshness
or loss of traction.
High-Speed Compression Adjustment
High-Speed Compression Adjustment mainly affects the compression damping
during medium to fast suspension movements such as steep jump faces, harsh
flat landings and aggressive whoops. The goal is to run as little high-speed
compression damping as possible without bottoming out so your ride across
the choppy dunes is as smooth as possible.
Rebound Adjustment
Between Joey from
UTV Underground and I, we put about 100 miles on the RZR S with the new
shocks in Glamis. As you can see by the jump pictures above, the 2.0
RC2's did a great job soaking up uneven landings. Ride through the chop was
smoother than stock, and I was much more confident in the vehicles ability
to handle g-outs and sudden drop-offs.
The fit and finish of the shocks was perfect, and
installation was a breeze. It was really nice to have an aftermarket product
bolt up so nicely.
And the key thing that I like about the RC2's is they are
triple adjustable. 24 different settings for low and high speed
compression and rebound mean that I can set my shocks for dunes of Glamis
one day and the desert terrain of Ocotillo the next.
You can check out Joey's review of the RZR S and Fox 2.0
shocks

If you are an aggressive rider that needs more "capacity"
than stock shocks can deliver, I would highly recommend upgrading to the 2.0
Piggyback RC2.
