DUO-TEK
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.
DIVE-TEK
When the rider returns to normal trail surfaces, the enhanced body roll would be considered a negative. With the DIVE-TEK’s Cross-Linked Air Spring technology the rider can easily change the roll dynamics of the sled. The rider simply positions the sled on a level surface so the shocks are equally extended, then switches the C-LAS back to its normally closed position. In this setting the air-springs act totally separate from each other so the conventional anti-roll cornering characteristics of the sled are restored. Whether you are an experienced rider or not, the DIVE-TEK system with Cross-Linked Air Spring technology will greatly increase your sleds maneuverability. Kits are currently available for all REV chassis with other makes soon to follow. These systems will be available in three levels starting with the top of the line DIVE-TEK SS featuring on board air and solenoid switching. In the middle the DIVE-TEK EL features onboard air with manual switching and finishing up with the lightweight DIVE-TEK LI which feature manual air and switching.
TRI-TEK
For the REV, Nytro and IQ Polaris M-10 families, this system provides significant trail riding enhancements are and is as easy as the removal and replacement of six bolts. This is a kit that addresses more than just what your skis are doing. Consisting of a set of two ASSAULT-SK ski shocks and one – ASSAULT-FT front track shock. Featuring matched air shock calibrations between the skis and front arm that will improve your sled’s ride and handling. In particular while grinding through the annoying trail chop that tends to hammer away at one’s forearms and upper body.In the front of the rear suspension our Assault Airshock prevents the all too frequent bottoming of the rear suspension’s front arm. This problem is far too prevalent on many of today’s sleds in particular the significantly rider forward sleds such as the REV , Nytros and IQs. On these sleds the weight is shifted forward and the front arm has become the most heavily challenged portion of the suspension system.
At the skis we calm the frozen waters using a set of Assault SK Airshocks. To date, current air shocks have metal air chambers that are so small they are unable to deliver the smooth and gradual force curve that match up with the wide range of loadings a ski suspension confronts. Because they’re small, their force curves ramp up, is too steep. If a rider sets the air-pressure in this type of air shock to work reasonably well in small to medium bumps then it will be too firm and harsh in large bumps. The results are a fatiguing riding experience on the common chop of average trails. Just check out how many secondary aftermarket bolt on “air chamber kits” are being sold that increase air chamber volume to improve ride.
Through the use of our large and properly sized air chambers we are able to provide full stroke smoothness, while at the same time deliver severe bump bottoming prevention. Our units deliver the full range of isolation a rider needs to enjoy the ever changing condition found on trail systems today. On this kit we have obtained apparent and appreciable improvements through the front half of the sled and by making the front half work better the overall sled feels better. When riding a sled with a TRI-TEK kit, it almost feels as if both rear shocks were changed as the whole sled feels better. To date these kits have been checked out for every year Ski-doo REV and ’08 and newer Yamaha Nytro model as well as IQ Polaris M-10 equipped models. Additional models will be added through the season so call for the latest additions.
SI-TEK
This system is the answer to front arm crash-through, combined with med/small bump filtering and compliance, featuring a single Assault-FT front track shocks.At the front of the rear suspension our Assault Air shock prevents the all too frequent bottoming of the front arm of the rear suspension. This problem is far too prevalent on many of today’s rider forward sleds. On these sled types the weight has been shifted forward and the front arm has now become the most heavily challenged segment of the suspension system.
This shock features valving and air-spring calibrations that improves control of small and medium bumps while preventing frequent front arm bottoming commonly experienced on many newer sleds. A large part of this is accomplished by having a properly sized rolling lobe air spring. Not so large that it’s unable to build enough force to resist bottoming, while not too small this stops it from building up too much force and becoming harsh.
