HCR RACING YAMAHA YXZ1000R COMPLETE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
HCR Racing is proud to introduce the +4 YXZ Complete Long Travel Suspension System. Following the style and strength of HCR’s recent releases, with a modern edge.
The engineers at HCR produced incredible numbers on the YXZ Kit. At over 20 inches front and 21 inches of rear travel with 4 inches of additional wheel base; the suspension has been completely redesigned. The extensive time of R&D allowed increased travel numbers without interfering with critical characteristics such as bump steer; changing less than 0.3º from factory. Caster / Camber settings have been embedded into the design of the suspension eliminating the need for adjustment heims, and allowing for stronger internal structuring. Impressively, HCR achieved a minuscule 0.06º change in caster / camber throughout the front Travel Cycle and 0.00º fluctuations throughout the rear travel cycle.
