UTV Shock Springs & Valving: Dialing in the Perfect Ride

Your UTV’s suspension is one of the most critical factors in handling, comfort, and performance. Whether you’re tackling rough trails, sand dunes, rock crawling, or high-speed desert runs, properly tuned shock springs and valving ensure better control, smoother rides, and maximum traction. At MST Motorsports, we specialize in shock spring upgrades, custom valving, and suspension tuning to match your riding style and terrain.

Why Upgrade Your UTV’s Shock Springs & Valving?

Factory suspension is designed to be a one-size-fits-all solution, but no two riders, UTVs, or terrains are the same. Upgrading and tuning your shocks offers:

✅ Improved Ride Quality – Reduce harsh impacts, bottom-outs, and body roll for a smoother ride.
✅ Increased Suspension Travel & Control – Better absorption over bumps, jumps, and technical obstacles.
✅ Enhanced Performance for Added Weight – Essential for UTVs carrying larger tires, heavy accessories, or extra passengers.
✅ More Traction & Stability – Keeps all four wheels planted, improving cornering and grip on all terrains.
✅ Custom Tuning for Specific Terrain – Whether you ride dunes, trails, mud, or rocks, your suspension can be optimized for maximum performance and comfort.

Shock Spring Upgrades: Choosing the Right Setup

The right shock springs keep your UTV balanced and responsive. We offer:

✔️ Dual-Rate & Progressive Springs – Offers a plush ride at low speeds with stiffness for big hits and jumps at higher speeds.
✔️ Heavy-Duty Springs – For UTVs that carry extra weight or tow heavy loads, preventing sag and bottom-outs.
✔️ High-Performance Racing Springs – Designed for motocross-style jumps, high-speed desert riding, and aggressive cornering.

Custom Shock Valving: Precision Performance Tuning

Shock valving controls how your suspension reacts to bumps, jumps, and terrain changes. We fine-tune:

🔹 Compression Damping – Adjusts how the shock absorbs impacts, reducing bottom-outs and improving handling.
🔹 Rebound Damping – Controls how quickly your suspension returns to normal, preventing bucking or excessive bouncing.
🔹 Spring Preload & Crossover Adjustments – Balances weight distribution, stability, and travel for a dialed-in feel.

💡 Factory shocks are built for overall average riding conditions, but we can tune them specifically for YOU!

Signs Your UTV Needs Suspension Tuning

🛑 Harsh, Rough Ride – If your UTV feels too stiff or bouncy, your springs and valving need adjustment.
🛑 Bottoming Out on Jumps or Rough Terrain – Your suspension isn’t absorbing impacts properly.
🛑 Excessive Body Roll & Unstable Handling – Soft springs or improper damping can cause instability at high speeds.
🛑 Uneven Ride Height or Sagging – If your UTV sags in the rear or front, upgraded springs are needed.
🛑 Loss of Traction or Poor Cornering – A poorly tuned suspension affects grip and control, especially in corners.
