    He set these up on my Ryker. The front wheel now stay glued to the road. No more bouncing.

    I wonder how comparable these shocks are to the stock Rally adjustable shocks?

    These shocks are not cheaper they are less expensive. It took him 3 days to this shock where he wanted it. The shocks are hand built 1 at a time. Then they are put on a DYNO and tested. This is the only custom made shock for this kind of money. Marcus the owner was a m/c racer. He now builds all type of shocks for race bikes. He love the can am 3 wheels that way he is now building shocks for the F3 and the Ryker. I don't think the Fox or the ELKA are even close, these are off the shelves mass produced shocks. My front tires stay on the road. I can not tell you how great the ride is now.

    Kid Ryker dropped by my office yesterday and I got the chance to see the M2 shocks first hand. When the KYB's on my Rally model flame out I will likely be changing to the M2.

    Hey guys, thank you for the nice words. Here is a video of how the shocks work. They are available now for 1499.00 a set (Rear and Two Front Shocks)

    Thanks,
    Marcus

    This video was not shot on a smooth road. Its just these shocks take care of all the bumps. Road back 850 mile I keep looking at the front wheels they looked like that all the way home smooth as can be. Also my front end now has more clearance then the Rally and the rear. These Shocks are a Game Changer.

    I actually just went to our local shop and looked the models, quality of the components, and pricing...I think that is a good idea.

    These would be a huge upgrade over the 900 Base shocks. Now as far as the Rally, I'm not sure. I bought the Rally for the upgraded suspension and the overall looks I like better than the Base 900. That's a lot of cash for 3 shocks. I bought 4 Bilstein 5100's for my Nissan Titan for just a click over $300. I'm sure they are terrific in every way, but I'm sure the stock Rally shocks will be just fine for most buyers.

    Most likely you bought the 4600's for your titan which are affordable as most parts are made in the thousands and thousands. Unfortunately, in the powersports world, the components work at a much more precise window with many less being made which ups the cost for all manufacturers in the marketplace. Not just us...in fact I think our shock solution is one of the most affordable. With that said, if you have a Ryker, let me send you a set. IF YOU ARE NOT A TRUE ABSOLUTE RAVING FAN OF THE PRODUCT, you can send them back and I will give you 500.00 for the inconvenience. If you keep them, pay for them and just tell the Spyderlovers forum how much you like them. I also ask you to please "blast me on this forum" if you do not love them.

    FWIW, I actually inspected the upgraded suspension and can tell you our suspension is going to be much more adjustable and overall better than what is on any Ryker or in their catalogue.

    Nope 5100's, The 4600's are a baby poop yellow color, the 5100's are far superior and yes right at $300 on Shock Surplus with a discount code. If my Rally doesn't ride acceptable when I get it with the KYB shocks I will reach out to you and check them out.

    Thanks

    I am not sure if you are aware of this, but both Bilstein shocks are nearly identical inside and they are the same price...https://youtu.be/5D1P6dF87D4

    Yep, close to the same but not. 4600's don't have the adjustable front spring perch either, so there's that. But thanks for sharing

    I bought the 900ace because I like it better I already knew I would upgrade my shocks. The rally has better shocks then my base. BUT not now with the M2. I have more clearance than the stock rally and a 200% better ride. You have no ideal what these shocks will do for you. If you only go to Starbucks (not that you do) stock is fine. If you are happy with the ride on your rally don't change.

    Yep, I'm just the opposite. Like the Rally much better. Much more bang for your buck. You sit on a 900 Base and the suspension just about bottoms out just by sitting on it. Not so with the Rally. Don't really care about clearance since I will probably never go off road. And your right, I will never know what those shocks will do for me. We all like different things and one size doesn't fit all. Glad your happy with them though

    Does installing new shocks require wheel alignment??

    No, not on this type of suspension. A car or truck, would be a good idea.
