Dropping in from .net site.. I was a periodical poster there, and missed whatever prompted this new site and whatever friction there was.. Someone want to fill me in ,via PM as to what that was over?  ..Anyway,looking forward to continuing to contribute on here as a suspension shop, and provide service to those looking to maintain and upgrade their shocks..

Nice to have a shock builder on here. You have any experience and opinions of the Axis PRS system? I have a front pair I need to rebuild completely and am interested in PRS for dunes.

It might have something to do with a certain post about questioning gods advice. Wait a minute, it just disappeared along with all my pre-carl buddy's posts implying there are more than one choice other than the way Honda does it choice BSDT uses. Really does not matter, its over and we all welcome you to the new Best TRX250r site, Enjoy!!!!

Welcome to the board. Great shock builder,I couldn't be happier with the service and performance of my new shock.

I have not touched a set of Axis PRS shocks yet. So don't know exactly what they have. But what I've seen on the web, from their cut-away pic's, it's not new technology though. They  pretty much took a page from others playbook though it appears. To my knowledge, Ktm had it first. In the UTV market Fox, has their version of the same thing, with  "bottom-out Cup" technology. In the big -boy arena, of off-road racing, King Shocks applies the same theory with their internal by-pass coilovers.. They all use 2 internal shock pistons instead of the traditional 1. All of them apply the theory that with the main piston can now be valved for a softer initial ride, and at the bottom portion of the stroke , a second piston engages a secondary internal smaller diameter shock wall (think upside down cup) at the top of the shock body. This second piston is valved significantly stiffer, to act like a bump stop. The other part that most of these shocks use, is the free bleed circuit that is controlled by a tapered needle(much like carb needles). the length and thickness(thinner or fatter)of taper determine how soon and how fast the circuit is closed as the shock is bottoming out. This needle is threaded into the top cap of the shock (center of the upside-down cup) and engages the hollow center of the shock shaft to close the free bleed circuit as the shock compresses. ( hence Kings name for internal "bypass"..  Hope that helps explain..

Speaking of King Shocks Esch, is there a set up for available for 250r's or Banshee's? By bro-in-law was told he can get Kings made for his banshee? Have you ever heard of this?

 A buddy of mine had a shop fabricate some long travel arms for his Yamaha Raptor. They then ran king shocks.. They were 2.0 shocks , and pretty big and heavy.. Possible?.. probably.. Would I recommend it?.. probably not.. For the smaller platform of the ATV, the 2.0 size shock up front is overkill, and adds un-necc. weight. because of the huge 2.5"ID size spring you are forced to run.. The only application where I'd see a merit is desert racing, where shock fade at mega speeds and rough terrain becomes an issue with oil breaking down because of temps..
