FOX 2.0 QS3 Shocks for Polaris General 1000 Front
Product Description
The FOX 2.0 QS3 shocks for Polaris General 1000 deliver a significant suspension upgrade for riders who want improved trail performance, better control, and enhanced durability. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, these FOX Performance Series shocks transform the Polaris General from a capable utility machine into a confident off-road performer.
The FOX Podium 2.0 QS3 system replaces the stock emulsion shocks with a monotube shock design featuring an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) housed inside the piggyback reservoir. This separates the nitrogen charge from the shock oil, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent damping performance when driving over washboards, rocks, and uneven terrain.
FOX engineered this suspension upgrade to maintain the comfort that Polaris General owners expect while adding better bottom-out resistance. A single-rate front spring combined with dual-rate rear springs helps keep the ride smooth while improving stability when driving faster through rough terrain.
The Quick Switch QS3 adjuster allows riders to quickly adapt suspension compression damping to match trail conditions. Choose a softer setting for smooth trails or rock crawling, increase compression when carrying passengers or gear, or select the firmest setting when riding aggressively and needing maximum bottom-out protection.
With hard-anodized aluminum bodies, piggyback reservoirs, and hard-chromed shafts, FOX shocks provide long-term durability and are fully rebuildable, allowing riders to service or custom-tune their suspension over time.
