    Optional Fox™ Shocks are available to factory install

    Exclusive aluminum-body, high-pressure monotube FOX racing shocks

    • Fully adjustable spring preload for different driving styles
    • High-pressure nitrogen gas is separated from the damping oil by an internal floating piston (IFP). The separation prevents aeration (frothing) and viscosity degradation of the oil which improves damping consistency and performance fade.
    • Pressure and heat generation in the monotube is less than a traditional twin-tube shock, allowing for better vehicle control in aggressive conditions.
    • The single aluminum shell of the monotube design allows for more efficient heat rejection and lower overall unsprung mass.
    • Mounting the shaft end of the shock to the suspension arm lowers the unsprung mass of the suspension system, leading to improved suspension response.

  • Precision-engineered drive system optimizes acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities

    The Gator™ XUV Mid-Size Crossover Series Utility Vehicles have a precision-engineered drivetrain system that fully utilizes engine power, optimizing acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities. Power is transmitted from the engine through a continuously variable clutch system to the transaxle.

    Key elements of the drive system include:

    Variable-speed drive
    Variable-speed drive (shown on XUV590 engine) Variable-speed drive (shown on XUV590 engine)

    The variable-speed drive consists of two clutches and a drive belt:

    • Drive clutch is attached to the engine.
    • Driven clutch is attached to the transaxle.

    Features include:

    • Ability to creep along slowly to maneuver in tight spaces
    • Standard full-clutch enclosure with a high intake and exhaust ensures a dry belt when crossing water
      • High-speed fan on drive clutch provides longer belt and clutch life by keeping components cool
    • TEAM® industry clutches provide high performance and longevity 

    How the variable-speed drive works:

    1. As engine speed increases, the spring-loaded drive clutch is closed by weights being forced out by centrifugal force.
    2. As the drive clutch closes, the belt rides up to the largest diameter of the drive clutch and forces open the driven clutch.
    3. With the belt running in the smallest diameter of the driven clutch, the speed being transferred to the transaxle is increased.
    4. The driven clutch is designed to sense varying loads (inclines, mud, etc.) and constantly adjusts drive speed upward or downward so that engine rpm remains optimal.
