One of the best ways to increase the stability, performance, and comfort of your UTV is having a properly set up suspension for your needs. And, there’s really 3 different ways to go when setting up your UTV’s suspension:

1) Stock A-arms & Shocks
2) Stock A-Arms & Aftermarket Shocks
3) Long-Travel A-Arms & Aftermarket Shocks

UTV Offroad Magazine discusses all these options, the pros and cons, and tells you how to get the best out of your setup. Need to know which suspension system to buy and how to dial it in once it’s installed? Check out UTV Offroad Magazine.

Race Tech has been doing their homework this summer in the UTV area. The first project was the Rhino. There are going to be two suspension options available for it.

RT Gold Valve Conversion Kit: The Gold Valve Shock Conversion transforms your stock shocks into high performance custom suspension components. The process includes a complete rebuild, a Gold Valve setup for your riding, and spring replacement (if required). Optional upgrades include,Hi-Low Speed Compression Adjustable Remote Reservoir, and Hard Anodizing where applicable. When you receive your shocks back, bolt them on and ride. It’s that simple.

G3-S Custom Series Shocks: The second option is to replace the stock shocks with G3-S Custom Series Shocks. Race Tech Shocks are manufactured from the finest materials available. They are custom built to your exact specifications to provide you with a superior quality suspension component designed for high performance riding and excellent durability. All shocks are assembled by hand and valving and spring rates are selected dependent on your individual needs (UTV setup, weight, riding type, and skill level).

G3-S Custom Series shocks feature large 16mm diameter shafts, 46mm bodies Gold Valves, RT High-Performance chrome silicone springs and high precision stainless steel spherical bearings. G3-S are available in Non-Reservoir or Piggyback Reservoir versions. Optional features include, externally adjustable Hi-Low Speed Compression damping, Rebound and Spring Preload.

The best way to describe the Rhino’s capabilities is: It looks steep, it is steep, but it doesn’t feel steep. That is to say, the stability of the machine is fantastic when climbing steep grades.
