 F3 Rear Shock options
Considering swapping the rear shock on my F3S. I noticed a couple of options on Can Am's website:
- FOX Factory series 2.0 PODIUM RC2 Rear Shock (Can Am Part # 219400577)
- FOX Adjustable Rear Shock (Can Am Part # 219400734)
Anyone running either of these? Differences between the two? Any other options you would recommend aside from the two above?
The OEM rear shock leaves much to be desired.
Thanks in advance for the input!

If the budget is a concern, another option is the brp "two up shock" - which of course should be standard. Fine on my f3s one-up.
others will tell you more than I can about Elka, Wilbur and Fox.

Agree...a
 you have choices...Race Tec, Elkas, Fox and maybe Progressive. They get pricy... I have the Fox Podium up front on my RS with relocators and they work well. Have not changed the rear just set it on upper setting...

I'd probably be inclined to lean towards one of the Can Am/Fox OEM options...just wondering if there's any rider experience here with either of the units?

I can only give feedback on the '2 up' shock 219400739.
I've not come across - FOX Adjustable Rear Shock (Can Am Part # 219400734)? That's a new one. I've just looked it up on line and it seems to match up with the Fox 1.5 front shocks. I'll be interested if anyone has fitted one.
Edit - ah ok, just found it in the 2017 catalgoue with 'new' next to it. So that would explain why I've not seen it before. There's also a new FOX front shock under Can Am Part # 219400733. So it looks like the 1.5 and 2.0 upgrade shocks have been replaced for 2017 with these new 'adjustable' ones.

The "2-up" shock is a great improvement over stock and is only $160.
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

He rides 2 up a lot and says it cures all the issues that 2-up creates....
