Default Raptor Shocks on a Wolverine

Geesh man, Ive never seen a shock look like that before...lol

What did you do jump it off of a three story building? j/k

I agree I wish the stock shocks were better quality for racing, but it does show how well the basics can work to make a bike handle.

Default Raptor Shocks on a Wolverine

That was about 2 years of racing the snot out of this thing. When we start we are the last class of about 7 to leave and I can usually work my way up through about 2 of the sport bike classes. I've raced a 400ex, FST300ex, and a 250r/350x conversion before the wolverine. I jump this bike as hard and as often as I did the others. When I broke the shock I came off a single about 4-5' high cracked in 3rd. No crash was involved somthing just didn't feel right when it landed. I had to bend the coil back straight to get it out it was wraped around the brake lines.

Dang man, sorry to hear about the shocks. It sounds like you can run that Wolverine pretty good through the woods.

Thanks for the info! I might have to scan Ebay and see if I can find some stock Raptor shocks. Or ... even some stock length Raptor replacements that are used such as Works or something. Awesome info.

And yep, with the right rider I think a Wolv is pretty damn quick in the woods. I've ran right on top of Raptors, Z's, and EX's many times [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Sweeeeeeeeeet! I want to see a full review of it when you get it all installed. I'd like to buy one but the Cannondale NEEDS things while mom riding the Wolverine ... probably has too much power LOL.

I am watching some Raptor shocks though and might have to give that a try.

Let us know how they ride on the Wolv I'd like some firsthand knowledge before buying a set. Thanks!
