Saw the video in the other thread. Looks like it works pretty good. It would be neat to see a back to back to back comparison between a S with stock suspension, a S with Makin Trax and re-valve and the new set-up.

Have a few questions (I guess for Steve);

1) how much travel?
2) wheel base longer?
3) what size springs?
4) sway bar used, or can it be used?
5) projected cost?
6) what does "available soon" mean? 3 months, 6 months, etc......

Thanks

Guys to answer Rory's questions for now:

According to Jon "Spicoli" who had "S" arms with Podium Shocks re-valved by me and Progressive Springs, quote: "this improvement is beyond my expectations. It is as much a difference as it was from my 50 inch to an "S". "

1) 13
2) +3
3) Secret
4) No!
5) To be announced
6) Very Soon. Likely less than a month.

Most of the video was shot between 45 mph and 55 mph and Jon had spurts he would pull away. It was shot along Shea Road. Portions of the Parker 425 course. It was perfect for a first shake down run and provides me with excellent video to study to improve the setup.

WOW! This looks promising
I will be watching it closely

If you ever do a side by side comparison with this set up and a stock S let me put my RZR S with AFCO Silver Series shocks in the mix.

Steve,
I have an 09 stock S as well with NO upgrades if you need to compare the stock to Jeff 09 S AFCO Silver Series shocks to the "NEW MTS XPS conversion"?

Also any thoughts of making a kit to convert a 50" over to the 60" XPS?
I have a 50" 08 that I been thinking of converting over to an S now maybe an XPS, if your think of doing a 50" to 60" XPS kit?

From the what did you do to your RZR today? Thread-

From Makin trax
Convert your "S" or Standard to a 60" XP style Suspension. This is a short video clip of the first test run.

Just passing it along to answer the above question.
