I need more suspension underneath my 94 vmax600. i want to go 136 and have more travel. what year and model skidoo will have the m-10 etup i need?
:dunno:
 
no skidoos came with an m10 unless someone put it in. only polaris ever came from the factory with an m10. you have many options when it comes to suspensions to put under a pogo vmax because almost anything is better than stock.

-Polaris-
extra 10
extra 12
edge
iq
m10

-ski doo-
sc-10
sc3
sc4
sc5
arc/arm

-yamaha-
proactive
proaction
dualshock
monoshock

-arctic cat-
ZR suspension

-aftermarket-
F.A.S.T. M10
Ad boivin Expert x
Bender Promax
to name a few

All of these suspensions have their positives and negatives, and none are completely better than any of the other ones. It all comes down to personal preference and budget.
So what kind of riding do you do and how much do you want to spend?

I dont want to spend a pile of money and i like to do mostly ditchbanging, and a bit of powder when i can find some!!! what would be your suggestion?
 
I'm running an SC10-4 I believe out of an 09 renegade on my 03 venture 600,, that thing is now a cadillac....... plus I can pop wheelies also,,, it is such a joy to ride......
 
ditchbanging on the cheap would most effectively be the job of a 136 proaction, extra 10, sc10, or zr.
The proaction would probably be the cheapest to find, alot of people do not like the proaction, but this is because they do not tune them properly. My vmax 600 and one of my vmax4's have proactions in them and i can say they are a very good all around suspension. A big plus is you will not lose any top end with a proaction.
The SC10 and Xtra 10 are both very good ditchbanging skids. Slightly more expensive than the proaction on average, but are much more common and popular. Very simple and easy to tune. Good for the bumps and jumps. The Sc10 will give you a more transfer, easier to lift the skis off the ground if you want to show off or whatever.
The ZR suspension is very similar to the Xtra and SC, about the same price and works the same way, but has almost 14 inches of travel vs the 10 inches of the Xtra and SC. Better for ditchbanging, but will make you lose a little bit of top speed.

My recommendation for you: 136" ZR suspension, 1" track with 144 1.25" studs.

To go along with that, the x10 suspension CAN be tuned for massive transfer if you want. When I first installed mine, I was actually worried about the sled flipping on me, the skis were impossible to keep on the ground. The nice part about that suspension is that it is really easy to adjust the front to rear linking to reduce ski lift. The ZR suspension is more or less fixed in that regard and can't be adjusted.
