FOX 2.0 QS3 Shocks for Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Front
Product Description
The FOX 2.0 QS3 shocks for Polaris Ranger XP 1000 deliver a significant suspension upgrade for riders who want better ride quality, improved control, and increased durability. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, these FOX Performance Series shocks transform the Ranger XP 1000 from a capable utility machine into a more confident off-road performer.
The FOX Podium 2.0 QS3 system replaces the factory emulsion shocks with a monotube shock featuring an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) housed inside the piggyback reservoir. This design separates the nitrogen charge from the shock oil, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent damping performance when driving over washboards, rocks, and uneven terrain.
Piggyback reservoirs increase oil capacity and cooling efficiency, allowing the shocks to maintain consistent performance even during extended rides or heavy use. FOX’s velocity-sensitive damping system improves suspension control, giving drivers better stability and comfort whether working on rough terrain or riding recreational trails.
The Quick Switch QS3 adjuster provides three compression damping settings, allowing riders to quickly adapt suspension performance to match terrain conditions, vehicle load, or driving style. Choose the softer setting for smoother rides, increase compression for hauling cargo or passengers, or select the firmest setting for aggressive off-road driving.
With hard-anodized aluminum bodies, piggyback reservoirs, and hard-chromed shafts, FOX shocks are built for long-term durability. They are also fully rebuildable and re-valvable, allowing riders to service or custom-tune their suspension as needed.
