Viper Rear... Stock Skid w/ Ohlins vs Fast M10

M10 will give you a better trail quality ride over the Ohlins in the stock no action pro-action. Toss a mono skid in that S now you will have something.

I have a viper s. It took me years to find the Ohlins rear shocks in good condition. The ride is much better than the stock shocks. However I have had stock shocks revalved and had a comparable ride. Advantage of Ohlins is the easy adjustment. I would also add that currently, I am waiting on one of my front Ohlins to be repaired. No one had parts locally to fix it. The parts were ordered from Sweden. So it is going to be a bit of a wait. As the sleds get older parts are much harder to find.
I have no experience swapping suspensions. But I bet if you keep an eye out here or ebay something may come up.
Revalving stock shocks can drastically improve your ride for less work and possibly less cash. It really depends on what deals you come across. If the sled has more than 3000 miles on it, it is probably time to go through the skid and replace warn bushings as well as a rebuild on the shocks.

Cannondale47 on the 4 stroke side can revalve anything you need. The mono is the single shock skid they they run in the 2006 Apex and later year Vectors. First started in the 2005 RX1. I installed one in my 2002 Viper and it transformed that sled into a great trail sled. That skid should have come out a few year earlier and the Viper would have been unreal.
Installed a mono skid from an Apex into my 2002 SRX...completely new sled!
Exactly!!
