Ski doo rmotion suspension setup

Riding the Wave Here we are, twenty years later Since that time, chassis and suspension designs have continued to progress in response to the forward bias of rider positioning on the snowmobile.

Boasting a five pound 2. Part of the weight reduction comes from a new lighter weight wheel design on both the large diameter rear axle wheels and small diameter idler wheels. The rear arm has been further refined and is now 40mm longer and lighter. Revised geometery and a 15mm longer rear shock increases rear arm travel by a full inch 2. The front arm mounting point on the suspension rails is now 7mm higher as well. By extending the length of the front arm and raising the mounting point on the rails, Ski-Doo suspension engineers reduced the angle that bump forces are transferred into the chassis.

The machine will act more like it has a lower fulcrum point, with reduced pitching and rocking of the vehicle in bump conditions. This placement also aids in creating a more ideal balance of weight transfer, back and forth between the track and the skis. Riders will notice a greater tendency of the vehicle remaining flatter through mogul sections with greater shock control of the rebound action, or release of the bump energy from the compressed shocks.

Again, the rider will experience reduced pitching and rocking of the vehicle in severe bump conditions. All rMotion suspensions, including this new X version, use the best matched length shocks for different track length versions of the suspension, rather than a one size fits all approach — assuring the best level of bump performance for each track length.
