Holy cow, what an upgrade to the back end of my 2016 ZR6000. I was bottoming out even after having the shock re-valved so did some digging and came across the Raptor spring. It's a triple rate made for a Polaris but fits the Cats. There is absolutely no slack in the spring at all even with the collars turned down all the way.

It's sooo much smoother than the stock double rate with absolutely no bottoming out even on hard whoops and sharp dips. I'm 240lbs with gear and it totally transformed my sled.

This is not a sales pitch, just a shout out to those who are struggling like I was. For $60 plus shipping, it's the best and cheapest upgrade I've done so far.

Hope this helps someone else. :buttrock::buttrock::buttrock:

I have been looking at these as well. I was thinking of running all 4 of them. Thanks for the review as I was on the fence with it.

It's 1 rate until 1 different wound section coil blinds (becomes solid). Typically, but not always(depends on rate vs spacing for a section vs other sections)That no longer adds it's psi rate.

Now you have a different rate . The spring maintains this rate until a different style wound section coil binds(becomes solid).

Now you have 1 last section which obviously is 1 rate so will stay 1 rate.

Someone could make a spring tester and graph out exactly what happens psi thru the whole distance until total coil bind. :)

Finally got some miles on the sled this weekend in some really poor trail conditions. I’ll say this with conviction, for $60 this has been my favorite upgrade to the sled for the money. Rode in a lot of junk and I don’t remember bottoming out once. Rode so much smoother and handled the stutter bumps better. Thanks for the recommendation on this spring. It made a world of difference for me.
