Mountain Max trailing arms

[eric.s.t]

Just curious do know if the trailing arms on a mountain max are the same as a SRX, im assuming so, but was just wondering ....

While they will bolt on and YES technically you can use them they are not an identical match,there's subtle differences that make each trailing arm unique to a specific model.You will notice a letter stamped into the ski leg tube on the front of the arm,the SRX is stamped with a V and the MM has an S,and the differences are in the caster angle of the tube and the angle of the shock mounting bracket.The caster angle for the SRX is 23.5° and the shock angle is 10° where the MM caster angle is 25.5° and the shock bracket angle is 7°.I'm sure if you used both arms together and not mix and match them you'd be fine because the radius rod angle is the same for the 2,BUT it's hard to say what affect the different caster angle will have on handling.

Only reason im asking is because I slowly gathering parts to make my sled a 144, but I would like to make the suspension geometry the best I can. So if that means running MM trailing arms, then I will look into a set.

Also, does anyone know if the SXvmax (red one) is the same suspension as a Viper?

SX arms are short travel...same as srx, viper is long travel.
