Damn this thread blew up! Undoubtedly there are inherent differences in the suspension and my reference to the RZR was purely that Fox has developed a COTS solution for a semi-active damper that is performing pretty well and from an absorbed power perspective in terms of vertical acceleration, there is a ride quality improvement as well as reduced heave, pitch and roll dynamics. Obviously physics still applies but having a damper that is sensing the displ. and vel. of the shock shaft and electronically adjusting the valving to compensate on the fly is going to perform than a passive shock with a floating valve or shim stack that is purely deflecting based on velocity. In addition the Fox system knows when approaching or reaching droop (in the air) and can exponentially ramp up compression dampening on stroke ingestion on landing providing somewhat of a progressive, jounce shock like landing. Again it's also tapped into vehicle CAN bus so it is pulling roll/pitch/yaw and lat/long/vert data from the vehicle IMU, steering angle, throttle and brake to use those input values as well. Looking forward to seeing the execution my 2019 when it arrives but just wanted to say it is not smoke and mirrors.
