ROX Speed FX Pivoting Riser & Dash Panel Relocate Kit

0

You’ve been watching as AJ’s overhauled our Grizzly 700 and turned it into a tribute to perhaps the most popular build segment we’ve ever done on DIRT TRAX; the iconic WR700 Grizzly build.

One product we were really excited to include on this project is the ROX Speed FX pivoting riser and dash panel relocate kit.

Adding a ROX handlebar riser significantly improves performance, control and rider comfort. This specific setup, featuring the Rox X-32 Bend Fat Bars and 5-inch Pivoting Riser, delivers key advantages for riders seeking enhanced maneuverability and a more ergonomic ride.

The ROX riser kit elevates the handlebars by 7-3/8-inch, which is 1.25-inches higher than the stock bars. This increased height allows for a more upright riding posture, reducing strain on the rider’s back and shoulders, especially on long rides. The ergonomic benefit translates into less rider fatigue, enabling more time on the trail with improved endurance.

The ROX X-32 Bend Fat Bars are wider and straighter than stock bars and a key advantage is their 32-inch width and 19-degree sweep, providing greater leverage and control, especially in rough terrains where precise handling is critical. A straighter bar enhances rider input, enabling quicker and more accurate turns, which boosts confidence in navigating tricky trails and obstacles.

Designed to work seamlessly with all stock cables on 2019 and newer Grizzly and Kodiak models, the kit is easy to install without the need for extra parts.

The combination of the ROX risers and the dash panel ensures a clean, functional look, while the patented pivoting riser design allows riders to adjust the handlebars for optimal comfort and control.

WARN VRX 35-S WINCH

0

You’ve seen the CFMOTO UFORCE 1000 XL build we’ve been working on this season in the TRAIL TECH shop and one of the accessories we recently added was a rear-mounted Warn VRX 35-S winch to not only assist in getting our machine unstuck, but to aid in the recovery of other vehicles in need.

The Warn VRX 35-S winch provides reliable and durable recovery power when tackling tough terrains. Its features make it especially suited for off-roading, ensuring that your vehicle is equipped to handle challenging situations with ease.

One of its standout features is its 50-feet of lightweight, easy-to-handle 3/16″ synthetic rope. Unlike traditional steel cables, synthetic rope is not only more manageable, it is also safer, as it doesn’t store as much kinetic energy under load reducing the risk of injury if the rope breaks. 

The hawse fairlead helps guide the rope smoothly in and out of the winch, preventing wear and tear, while the zinc-plated hook ensures strong and reliable connections during pulls.

With a 3,500-pound capacity, this winch is built to recover UTVs, ATVs, and smaller off-road vehicles with ease, making it versatile for a variety of terrains and conditions. Whether you’re navigating steep inclines, muddy paths, or rocky landscapes, the VRX 35-S provides the pulling power needed to get you out of sticky situations.

Thanks to its IP68 waterproof sealing, which keeps out water, dust, and debris, you’re ensured consistent performance in harsh environments. The semi-gloss black powder-coated finish and stainless steel fasteners enhance the winch’s corrosion resistance, perfect for off-roaders who face mud, water, and other corrosive elements. 

The load-holding mechanical brake is an essential safety feature, delivering precise control over heavy loads, while the all-metal 3-stage planetary gear train ensures smooth, reliable operation and its dash-mounted rocker switch allows for easy, convenient operation from the driver’s seat, letting you engage the winch quickly in moments of need.

We’ve rear-mounted our Warn VRX 35-S winch, but it could just as easily operate as a front winch for your ATV or side-x-side, delivering more than enough pulling power to keep you and your riding buddies on the trail longer.
