The Pioneer utilizes a hydraulic damping, spring shock system that suspends the weight of the passengers, cargo, and the Honda Side by Side correctly. The oil damper system hydraulically controls the natural compression and rebound of the suspension springs so that comfort and traction are well maintained as the terrain changes.
Front
The front suspension consists of a double wish bone, standard shock offering 7.9 inches of travel. It set to provide the right cushion amount for heavy loads and tough terrain.
Rear
The rear suspension consists of a double wish bone, with a pre-load shock capable of 5 different adjustments. A lower pre-load provides a softer ride and is the recommended choice for light loads and smooth terrain. The higher spring pre-load provides a firmer ride and is the recommended choice for heavy loads and rough terrain.
