FOX 2.0 QS3 Shocks for Polaris General 1000 Rear
Product Description
The FOX 2.0 QS3 shocks for Polaris General 1000 deliver a major rear suspension upgrade for riders who want better control, improved ride comfort, and increased off-road capability. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, these FOX Performance Series shocks transform the Polaris General from a capable utility machine into a confident trail and recreation vehicle.
The FOX Podium 2.0 QS3 system replaces the factory emulsion shocks with a high-performance monotube shock featuring an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) housed inside the piggyback reservoir. This separates nitrogen from the shock oil, preventing aeration and ensuring consistent damping performance when the suspension is working through washboards, rocks, and rough trail terrain.
FOX engineered these shocks to maintain the comfortable ride Polaris General owners expect while improving bottom-out resistance during aggressive riding. A balanced spring setup using single-rate front springs and dual-rate rear springs provides stability when driving faster through rough terrain while still maintaining smooth trail performance.
The Quick Switch QS3 adjuster allows riders to easily adapt suspension compression damping to match terrain and load conditions. Use the softest setting for smoother trails or rock crawling, select the middle setting when carrying passengers or cargo, or switch to the firmest setting for increased bottom-out resistance when riding aggressively.
With hard-anodized aluminum shock bodies, piggyback reservoirs, and hard-chromed shafts, FOX shocks are built for long-term durability. They are also fully rebuildable, allowing riders to service or custom-tune the shocks for specific riding conditions.
