The Stage 3 is our most popular shock model, which is designed to provide you a smooth, stable ride keeping glued to the pavement in complete control of your Spyder

The Stage 3 model is derived directly from our top-end Stage 5 model, with which it shares most of the same components. It features a single external compression adjustment knob that controls the low-speed compression damping that is combined with an internal high-speed blow-off circuit which relieves peak pressure upon impacts to provide you a comfortable and safe ride in a package that is more accessible and easier to adjust.

STAGE 3  // BENEFITS


  • Designed to optimize comfort, traction and stability under all road conditions
  • Turns your Spyder into a sporty machine that can carry more speed through the turn without having the front-end pushing or the CSS kicking in
  • Perfect choice for riders looking for a reservoir-type shock with simple but effective adjustability
  • Keeps your vehicle glued to the pavement while erasing bumps and potholes
  • Allows precise fine-tuning of all aspects of the suspension, without compromise

STAGE 3 // AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS


  • Front shocks, 36mm, sold as pair

STAGE 3 // ADJUSTMENT FEATURES


LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION

Allows fine-tuning of the damping resistance when the shock is being compressed slowly. This adjustment controls weight transfers such as upon acceleration and braking, front-end pushing when cornering, riding over bumps at moderate speed, undulations and elevation changes in the road.

To use, turn the red knob clockwise to increase damping resistance, therefore making the suspension stiffer or turn counter-clockwise to reduce damping resistance, therefore making the suspension softer.

THREADED MANUAL OR REMOTE HYDRAULIC SPRING PRELOAD

Available as a manual threaded adjuster or convenient remote hydraulic preload adjuster. Lets the rider fine-tune the initial force applied on the springs and precisely balance the weight distribution across the front and rear of the vehicle while setting up the ride height (sag) and to lower or raise the vehicle to adapt to various situations or to suit your personal preference.

To use, turn the preload adjustment ring clockwise (from top of the shock) to increase preload and raise the vehicle or turn counter-clockwise to reduce preload and lower the vehicle.
