What does the QS3 adjustment on the Float 3 shock do?

The QS3 system on the Float 3 shock provides three distinct compression damping settings. This allows you to quickly adjust the shock's stiffness to suit different riding conditions, such as smooth trails, rough terrain, or deep snow.

How does the EVOL air spring technology improve the ride?

EVOL (Extra Volume, Lower Pressure) air spring technology uses a larger air volume to reduce the initial spring rate. This results in better small bump absorption and a more comfortable initial feel, while still providing ample support to prevent bottoming out during larger impacts.

What is the benefit of a remote reservoir on a snowmobile shock?

A remote reservoir on a shock helps to dissipate heat generated during intense riding. This keeps the shock oil cooler, which in turn helps maintain consistent damping performance and prevents the shock from fading under heavy use.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your Matryx RMK snowmobile, especially when tackling challenging terrain, upgrading your suspension is key. This two-piece shock package from FOX Factory is designed to give you improved control and comfort, allowing you to ride harder and longer. It includes a Float 3 QS3 LW RT shock and a Float 3 EVOL shock, both built with FOX's renowned suspension expertise.

The Float 3 QS3 LW RT shock features a 3-position compression adjustment (QS3) that lets you quickly dial in your ride for different conditions – from smooth trails to deep powder. The 'LW' designation suggests a lighter-weight construction, and the 'RT' likely refers to a remote reservoir, which helps manage heat buildup during aggressive riding, keeping your damping consistent. The Float 3 EVOL shock uses EVOL (Extra Volume, Lower Pressure) air spring technology. This means it has a larger air volume, which lowers the spring rate in the initial part of the stroke, providing a more comfortable ride and better small bump absorption. As you compress the shock, the spring rate increases, offering support and preventing bottoming out. Both shocks are built with robust materials to withstand the demands of snowmobiling.

This package is a significant upgrade for riders who want to fine-tune their snowmobile's suspension for optimal performance. The ability to adjust compression on the fly with the QS3 system and the improved small bump compliance from the EVOL air spring work together to raise the overall capability of your RMK. Ensure you consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and mounting procedures.
