Custom tuned Fox shocks from Toms 

 

Ski-Doo made what is arguably the best snowmobile ever produced in their Gen. 5 850, and the 850 Turbo sleds. However, the OEM suspension on all models leaves a lot to be desired. We offer a number of ski packages utilizing Fox dampers for various budgets and ride characteristics that vastly improve the ride of the sled. 

With mountain specific LW shock kit from Fox,  in both a Float QS3 - R and a Float 3 Evol R shock with optimized lightweight design. Internally both shocks have new parts. The changes offer a "larger window of opportunity" for ease of sidehill use. With less effort to hold and maintain sidehill riding, your riding pleasure is extended more throughout the day. These shocks will fit both the 36", as well as the new 34" Expert ski stance. All shock tuning was designed for the sway bar removed

  • Air shock for ultimate adjust-ability. Easily tune the air spring utilizing the included shock pump. This allows much more adjust-ability than preload alone.
  • Our Custom Tuned Fox air shocks come in two trim packages
    • Top Grade (full adjust): Fox Float QS3R 
    • Mid Grade Fox Float 3 Evol R ( w/ Rebound adjust)

Quite possibly the best shock on the market. More precise adjustments than any other shock available. This shock is fully adjustable, with easy and quick, 3 click QS low speed compression, 3 click rebound adjust  and a dedicated piggyback to improve oil flow and damping consistency. 

Mid Grade, quite possibly the best "bang for the buck", mountain shock available. For those who are looking for a shock that is lightweight, has compression set like or similar to a QS3 on #2 position, and offers 22 position rebound adjust. This shock was built to take the mountain punishment. For those looking to "set it, and leave it".

No matter which package you chose, it will be valved for your specific rider weight and intended use. This is what makes Sik Suspension the way to go!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this suspension improve the overall performance of my snowmobile?
Yes. A properly tuned suspension improves both the performance of your snowmobile and your experience behind the handlebars.

You'll notice better control, a smoother ride, and a sled that stays more composed through rough terrain. Instead of being pitched around by every bump, the suspension does the work for you, making the machine feel more predictable, responsive, and easier to ride.

Many riders also say their sled feels noticeably lighter. Combined with reduced rider fatigue and less strain on your back, shoulders, and joints, you can ride longer with more confidence and less effort. Whether you're navigating technical terrain or putting in long days on the mountain, you'll spend less energy fighting your sled and more time enjoying the ride.
How do you custom tune the suspension?
Every rider is different, and your suspension should be too.

Rather than shipping a one-size-fits-all setup, we tune each suspension package based on factors such as your rider weight, riding style, terrain, and the specific make and model of your snowmobile. Whether you spend your time climbing steep technical lines, carving through powder, or covering long miles on mixed terrain, we build a setup designed to match how you ride.

Our goal is to create a suspension that keeps the sled composed, improves control, and delivers a smoother ride with less rider fatigue. A properly tuned suspension allows the shocks to do the work, so you spend less energy absorbing bumps and more time riding with confidence.

If you're not sure what setup is right for you, we'll walk you through the options and recommend the package that best fits your riding style and performance goals.
