The Mtn. Tamer Back suspension system is designed to fit each brand of sled and to bolt into the original bolt holes in the tunnel. The kits can be adapted to most factory rails or you can purchase a set of our custom slide rails that we offer in most track lengths ranging from 144"-174".

The kit provides a substantial weight loss and superior ride quality over the OEM suspensions. The biggest benefit of the Mtn. Tamer design is that it puts even pressure on the snow between the front and back portion of the suspension. This makes the sled trench less in all snow conditions and will also make your sled feel like it has more power due to the added traction. This is achieved by our rear arm slide mechanism and the mounting style of the Fox Float shocks. The slide mechanism couples the back portion of the suspension to the front at a specific spot in the range of travel. At this point the suspension will travel straight up into the tunnel, reducing the track angle and applying the sleds weight toward the front, pulling the sled on top of the snow.

"I had the privilege to get to ride and test the 2010 Mtn. Tamer back suspension on my turbo Assault all of last winter. The kit they sent me was an off-the-shelf kit that will be available this fall. The suspension was incredibly smooth in the bumps and climbed with killer control. It withstood an amazing amount of abuse and did not require any maintenance throughout the winter. It is a must have product if you want to make an improvement that really does work. It rocks!!!"

The slide mechanism can be adjusted in 2 points by adding or removing aluminum shims that come with the kit. First you can adjust the sleds rear ride height (works well for different snow conditions, like powder or spring time snow). Second you can adjust how much weight the sled will transfer, meaning how much ski lift it will have (works well for higher HP sleds & fine tuning your sled to your liking).

We now offer an optional Fox Float-X shock that has adjustable rebound and an external reservoir that has a high and low speed compression adjustment. This shock is a $300.00 addition to the standard kit price or can be purchased separately for $650.00.

If you decide to purchase a set of our custom slide rails, they now offer optional mounting holes for the shocks in the slide rails. This straightens the shock angle and gives it a stronger point of push on the suspension, making it 30% stiffer than the standard shock mounting hole. This will help with the weight of a larger rider or give you the option of running lower air pressure in the shocks.

The Mtn. Tamer suspension now has dual limiter straps that have 10 standard hole adjustments and offers an additional hole that is 2 down from the end of the strap, giving the strap 10 more coarse adjustments (works well on high horse power sleds).

The combination of these adjustments allows you to dial in your sled to best fit the riding that you do. All these adjustments may seem a little confusing so we include a page on tuning the suspension different ways such as deep powder riding on a stock sled or hill blasting on a big turbo charged sled.

Suspension arms are constructed from 4130 chrome molly steel and have a durable powder coated finish. All cross shafts and hardware are CNC machined from 7075 aluminum. All kits include our new CNC machined Delrin bushings that we make in-house. They provide more percussion and are much more durable than our previous molded bushings.
