Check out the different stages of UTV suspension shocks below:
Stage 1
The Stage 1 is the most accessible entry-level shock model designed to upgrade your UTV’s suspension beyond the capabilities of the stock shocks
If you believe that your stock shocks are “good enough”, you probably never tried a set of properly calibrated aftermarket shocks. It is amazing how much difference Stage 1 can make on your vehicle. Even if you just cruise along at moderate speed, these shocks will erase the bumps and get rid of the vibration so you can ride comfortably and in perfect control. However, the more you press the throttle, the more your Stage 1 shocks will come alive and make a night-and-day difference to the handling and performance of your UTV.
Benefits of Stage 1
- To upgrade or replace stock shocks, often at a comparable price to OEM shocks
- most accessible entry-level model
- Simple to use, bolt-on upgrade for improved handling, stability and comfort
- Vehicle-specific tuning, calibrated for your personal weight and type of riding

Stage 5
The ultimate shock absorbers for drivers who are looking for maximum performance for their UTV

The perfectly balanced combination of those three factors allow a more precise tuning and much smoother damping action than anything else currently available for UTVs. Extreme riders can get better bump absorption and greater comfort while racers will significantly increase their speed and control. Arguably, the Stage 5 shocks are the most comfortable and best performing race-level shocks on the market today.
