FOX 2.0 QS3 Shocks for Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Rear
Product Description
The FOX 2.0 QS3 shocks for Polaris Ranger XP 1000 deliver a major rear suspension upgrade for riders who want better ride comfort, improved control, and increased off-road capability. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, these FOX Performance Series shocks enhance the Ranger’s suspension performance whether you're working on rough terrain or enjoying recreational trail riding.
The FOX Podium 2.0 QS3 system replaces factory emulsion shocks with a high-performance monotube design featuring an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) housed inside the piggyback reservoir. This system separates the nitrogen charge from the shock oil, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent damping performance when the suspension is repeatedly cycling through washboards, rocks, and uneven terrain.
FOX engineered these shocks to maintain the comfortable ride Ranger owners expect while improving bottom-out resistance during aggressive driving. Optimized shock valving and spring rates allow the vehicle to handle rough terrain without sacrificing ride quality.
The Quick Switch QS3 adjuster allows drivers to quickly adapt suspension compression damping to match changing conditions. Use the softest setting for smooth trails or rock crawling, increase compression when carrying cargo or passengers, or select the firmest setting for aggressive off-road riding and improved bottom-out protection.
With hard-anodized aluminum shock bodies, piggyback reservoirs, and hard-chromed shafts, FOX shocks provide excellent durability and long-term performance. They are also fully rebuildable and re-valvable, allowing riders to service or fine-tune the suspension for specific riding conditions.
