What is a monotube shock absorber?

A monotube shock uses a floating piston to keep the oil and gas separated inside the shock body. This design prevents the oil from foaming, which allows the shock's valving to respond more quickly to impacts and terrain changes.

How do these shocks improve my ride?

The monotube design and higher gas pressure allow the suspension to instantly adjust its stiffness. This means it can provide a smoother ride on flat ground and a more controlled, stiffer response when hitting larger bumps or rough terrain, improving overall handling.

Do these shocks come as a pair?

Yes, this product is sold as a pair of shock absorbers, intended for the front or rear of your Can-Am Commander, depending on the specific application.

Product Details

DragonFire Racing is known for making parts that help off-road vehicles perform better. These monotube shock absorbers are a prime example, built to give your 2011-2016 Can-Am Commander a more controlled and responsive ride. Unlike traditional twin-tube shocks, a monotube design uses a floating piston to keep the oil and gas separated. This prevents the oil from foaming up, which means the valving can react quicker to changes in the terrain.

The higher gas pressure inside these shocks automatically adds resistance, especially when you hit bigger bumps. This design also helps dissipate heat more effectively because the larger surface area spreads the pressure evenly. What this means for you is a suspension that can instantly adjust from a softer feel on smooth trails to a stiffer, more controlled response when you encounter rougher terrain. They are designed for an easier installation, helping you get back to riding with improved performance.
