Thanks Jessie and Bruce for doing the hard work and research. For us the consumer's its information we otherwise wouldnt have, for our purchasing decisions.
You guys rock 💪. Taking all of the best doesn't matter whose company is and putting together as a package doesn't happen very often. When great minds work together you get great things. Keep up the good work and information coming.
I've a full. Hygear set up on my 22 128 XCR w all 4 shocks valved. Still fine tuning the clickers because haven't been able to get much seat time due to Mother Nature but initial impressions are that this set up flattens the small to medium stutter bumps. Seems the faster you push it the more compliant it gets. I'm curious hear feedback on the long tails.
I just added the long tail springs to my 136 XCR and revalved a little stiffer and made rebound about 20% slower. Will adding this hygear kit to that setup make even a bigger difference? I haven’t had a chance to ride the new long tails this year and probably won’t. Not sure if the extra cash for the hygear is worth it adding to the long tail. What’s your opinion?
I have a2023 650 137 adventure fox shocks HD torsion spring. I’m an old aggressive trail rider in Michigan. Is it worth it to install Hygear kit? What adjustments are necessary if I install the suspension kit? Shocks settings or need revalving? Thanks for what u do.
I mean it will make the ride more plush in the little bumps so if that is what you are looking for then would be a good fit. We highly recommend getting the rear shock re-valved but that is up to you. Thanks for following along!
These days I ride more with my daughters so that’s throttled me back a lot but I was wondering if this linkage would help make the ride a little more plush and do you think I’d need the shock done. Not really looking to make it stiffer
this would definitely make it more plush but do you think the stock valving etc isnt plush now?just trying to get a better understanding of what you are looking for
@@JESSEJAMES322I really like how the sled rides now but if this linkage or the dual rate springs would improve it even more I’d be interested in giving it a shot
the linkage by itself will make the sled even more plush/softer because it changes the ratio of how the shock travels. ive never ridden a sled with the linkage and no revalve so iam unsure how it feels.
Hey jesse. Have xcr 136. If u had to chose either stock HD springs with the Hygear and revalve shocks or long tail springs and revalve shocks what would you chose
As usual you guys are fantastic with this stuff. Is the sled already progressive and this improves the ratio? The linkage and extended torsion spring is the ultimate combo? Do you have to revolve the rear damper shock?
Just have Bruce do all the shocks and be true to how you ride and what you do with your sled and it will be danm near perfect. Super pump customer just wish we had snow.
yea we touched on all that in the video! this slows down the ratio in the beginng then speeds it up. rear shock needs to be valved. we will see if that is the ultimate combo
Jesse I often wondered with rider position. The same 129 vs 137 track I currently have a 21 v r 1 137 should I run less dampening in my rear shock versus my front
Hi, I am a cross country type racer but on a lake race track. I have a 2022 cross country 600 stock shocks and valving. What can I do to help with my fronts from bottoming in the corner with out making it too stiff for the straights? The corners gets similar to snocross type corners. Tall and rough.
Hygear knows the what they are doing. They did the spring/revalve on my 2018 switchback XCR. Absolutely unbelievable how much better it was. Can’t say enough good things about them

thank you for the support. Guys like you allow us to do what we are doing! high fives all around!

We are doing out best! thanks for the support!
Love the content. Bruce hooked me up last year with my assault. We tamed the rebound after I went with HD springs. Pray for more snow!!!
Bruce is the man! he is a wizard with valving!

yea makes a big differnece. we did a video on the long tail springs. two videos ago you can go back and watch that!
@@JESSEJAMES322 copy that. Didn't realize it was with the Hygear linkage tho... Keep thinking snow!!
Great video as usual. Been a terrible winter Think Snow!
horrible winter. were trying though. thanks for the support!!

them together seems to be the best option out there. its the best of all worlds

It’s on a 23 VR1 N/A 850

long tail with revalve and the linkage. best of all worlds!!
@@JESSEJAMES322 I think I’ll be hitting up Mr Bruce for the springs and shocks this summer
Short sleds for the win! I should 9r mine
absolutely should!

its really preference at that point. when bruce is valving though he now knows the characteristics of each length and can valve accordingly!

can try and stiffen up your clickers. go 1/2 clicks at a time. increase springs preload also
Hygear knows the what they are doing. They did the spring/revalve on my 2018 switchback XCR. Absolutely unbelievable how much better it was. Can’t say enough good things about them
yea its amazing what valving does
Crazy year even here in northern Ontario, just got two feet but I don't see trails opening this year
been a crazy year everywhere unfortunately
Can we get a jacket like Bruce’s at southside? Don’t see that one online lol.
that one is about 10+ years old which is why you cannot find it. so unfortunately no
@@JESSEJAMES322 looks cooler than the new stuff then.
