FOX 2.0 QS3 Shocks for Polaris Ranger XD 1500 Front
Product Description
The FOX 2.0 QS3 shocks for Polaris Ranger XD 1500 provide a major suspension upgrade for riders who want improved ride comfort, better control, and increased durability on demanding terrain. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, these FOX Performance Series shocks enhance the suspension performance of the Ranger XD 1500 whether you're working hard or exploring rugged trails.
FOX Podium 2.0 QS3 shocks replace 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 even when the suspension is repeatedly cycling through washboards, rocks, and uneven terrain.
Piggyback reservoirs increase oil capacity and improve cooling efficiency, helping maintain consistent suspension performance during heavy workloads or extended rides. FOX’s velocity-sensitive damping technology improves suspension response, giving drivers better stability and control across challenging terrain.
The QS3 Quick Switch compression adjuster allows drivers to quickly tune suspension performance to match terrain conditions, passenger load, or driving style. Choose the softest setting for smoother trails or crawling terrain, increase compression when hauling cargo or equipment, or select the firmest setting for aggressive off-road driving and improved bottom-out protection.
Built for durability, FOX shocks feature Type III hard-anodized aluminum bodies, piggyback reservoirs, and hard-chromed shafts designed to resist corrosion and wear. They are also fully rebuildable and re-valvable, allowing riders to service or tune their suspension for long-term reliability.
