To date, snowmobile air shocks have metal air chambers that are so small they’re unable to deliver the smooth and gradual force curve needed to match the wide yet defined range of loadings a ski suspension confronts. Because those air shock chambers are so small, their force curve ramp up is steep. There lies the root cause of the common experience of a rider being able to set air-pressure to work reasonably well in smaller bumps but then the air shocks don’t match up well with the bigger ones. The results can be a fatiguing riding experience on anything resembling the average choppy trail. As proof of this, just check out how many secondary aftermarket bolt on “air chamber kits” are being sold to increase overall air chamber volume hoping to improve ride quality.

Through the use of our large and properly sized airsprings we are able to provide full stroke smoothness, while at the same time delivers severe bump bottoming prevention. These units deliver the greatest range of isolation or widest sweet spot available of any air shock, which is exactly what a rider needs to enjoy the ever changing conditions of trail systems today.

As for matching your Assault Air shocks to cornering needs, the large surface area of our pistons require just small shifts in air pressure when tailoring chassis roll-stiffness to your personal riding style. To date these kits have been checked out for all Polaris IQ and Fusion models, Yamaha Nytro, Apex, Attack, RX-1 and some Venture models as well as all Ski-doo REV standard and XP models. Kits for Arctic and others will be added through the season so call in or check our website for the latest on additional models.
