Just this past weekend i took my ’15 570 EPS out and beat it like it owed me money. Very hard trail riding through some crown land in Alberta. Nothing broke thank god but i reached the limits of the suspension. I simply could not push it hard enough to keep up to my buddy’s lightly modded ’13 800.
Speed wise, i was ok. In fact the only reason i didn’t lose him on the trail was because i could catch up through the flat sections. But once i got into some heavy stuff, that was a different story. Currently i have the front sway removed with one notch up on preload.
So now i need to fix that. Here is the plan:
– Shocks (hopefully that will provide a slight lift 1"ish)
– Spacers 1" each side
– 27×10 wheels (on stock 12×8’s)
We usually ride trails that can get pretty greasy.
What would be the ideal setup that wont break the bank but still get me over these bumps and ruts without killing me?
