PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release February 27, 2004
The legendary M-10® rear suspension system continues to dramatically improve all snowmobiles built – even the most current ones.
With all the many design, acronyms and model changes that have occurred by the Big-4 manufacturers you would wonder why an aftermarket product like the M-10 has such staying power. The answer is simple- it just works.
The M-10® has become for all intents and purposes the “McPherson Strut” of snowmobiling. It works in nearly all models and track lengths and conditions. So versatile is this suspension system that it has won Sno-X and Hill-Climb Championships. The M-10 has won the coveted Jackson Hole, WY Mod King of the Hill competition for the last eight (
years running. No snowmobile manufacturer or aftermarket company can make that claim. It has extended hundreds if not thousands of riding careers where doctors have told their patients to retire from this great recreation. It is the mogul-mashing, ditch-banging King and yet it provides the industry’s most comfortable ride all in one package. The name M-10 is synonymous with comfort and control. It has been crowned the “Aftermarket Product of the Century”. It has Product of the Year awards, Engineering awards and is utilized as standard equipment by two OEM snowmobile manufacturers.
“Its been tough sledding for the last 4-5 years, too many sleds built and too little snow on the ground has stagnated most of the industry. Amazingly though our M-10 business continues to lead the way. Even in the face of all the new designs and acronyms from the big-4. The M-10 takes any snowmobile and makes it a great snowmobile, bar-none. No other suspension and no other company can make those claims and substantiate them”. States, David Karpik of FAST, Inc.
The benefits of the M-10 are widely recognized and they are routinely used by the competition to compare to. Everyone is trying to reach its level of performance and weight- its light weight that is. In most cases an M-10 suspension can drop anywhere from 10 – 25 pounds of your snowmobile instantly.
FAST is in their count down of M-10 type suspensions left for the season. Normally at this time of year they would 3-400 units left to move for the season. Not so this year, as of the time of this release they have only 86 units left in varying sizes and types. The count goes something like this:
121” – 61 left
128” – 8 left
136” – 4 left
141” – 1 left
144” – 10 left
151” – 2 left
156” – 0 Sold Out
159” – 0 Sold Out
The Count Down on units available 2/27/04 86 units total
There’s lots of riding left so why torture yourself any longer. Be a big boy and get on the horn to reserve yours now before they’re all gone. The M-10®… the undisputed King of Comfort and King of Control.

I have owned three seperate pre-97 sleds with M-10 and stayed with all my friends on the trails with thier new sleds , ( pogo front end and all, much smoother linear travel but limited on options) that M-10 suspenion is incredible and if you can try one do it .....
I just wish i could get my 97sx to ride with the same plushness like the M-10, the proaction is great when hammering, but when you slow down to sane speeds it is just to jittery and not small bump filtering compliant, (progressive spring rates)....
All the other manufacturer are copying the M-10 that is why they are better sleds today you can thank Team Fast....CP

M-10 ? (jury's still out)
Just returned form 300 mi. on my recently installed M-10 suspension on the RX-1. Still making adjustments, but am just not convinced yet that it was worth the $1400.00. Seems very sensitive to varying trail conditions. A small adjustment either way and I'm either to stiff or bottoming out. ACE most likely would be a worthwhile option. Anyone have a good setting for 190lbs? The manual has gotten me close but I haven't really worked with the front shock setting yet.

What shocks are you running, what blocks do you have in the rear...what are all the settings you are currently at....sit in???

White transfer block, Fox comp. shocks, I'm at the recommended pre-load for my weight (190lbs.). The rear shock (rail) adjustment was set initially at my weight setting but was way to stiff. I backed it down to the 100lb. setting and had a soft ride but bottomed out a lot. I now have it at 150lb. setting and it is still rather stiff. I have tightened the front shocks on the RX-1 to about mid point in hopes to help out the ride. Will be riding again this weekend to try and get it closer to what I expected.
Keep it as soft as you can in the FRA and if it bottoms add preload to the rear shock

on my srx -
i just got new blocks and noticed that the hole a positioned a little different. was there a change for the better? i haven't tried it yet, but had to have my fra to the max to ensure that i wouldn't bottom out on big jumps, or sag low when riding average.
