HCR Racing Long Travel Suspension - Is it worth it?

This is my 1 year review of HCR Racing’s long travel suspension setup for our 2020 Polaris RZR Pro XP. We’ve raced, played, crashed this kit and it’s still holding strong!

Heard & seen so much about HCR that’s good! Wish I could switch mine up but in a heartbeat I would do it on my next ride! You made a wise decision to make your car safer with your shocks & HCR kit! Thanks for a great review! Be safe out there! 🤘😎

Ordered my HCR Long Travel from UTV Source on September 2nd for my 2019 Honda Talon 1000R. Was told it was a 2 week lead time. It will be 3 weeks this Friday so hopefully I’ll be getting a call soon saying it’s on its way. Super excited. They had a huge!!! Sale on it. $2k off. There was no way I was passing that up. Next will be Elka Stage 5 Shocks.

ive seen these at my builders shop and he was telling me about hcr. awesome video dude you have made my decision i will definately be buying a set for mine. it would be so cool to shred together sometime.

[@STOKED2SHRED2]

That’s great to hear! Honestly you won’t be disappointed with the quality, craftsmanship and customer service that HCR provides. Super awesome team over there and they’ll take great care of you. The kit will transform your car into something awesome!

What did you get more of a gain out of? The long travel or the RC2's?

[@STOKED2SHRED2]

Well, to be honest I did both the RC2’s and the long travel at the same time so I couldn’t fairly give you a definite answer. The shocks themselves made a huge difference as far as soaking up the big stuff and just the ability to tune it for the terrain I’m in. The long travel gave me the obvious strength over stock and knowing it’ll take a beating. The added stability at both high speeds and cornering was a major plus as well.

I like that it looks raw. I get nervous about some of my oem suspension parts because I know rocks could reach up and just crush the heck out of them if I get into any technical stuff

[@jaydengerber15]

None of our race team run HCR due to weight. I run Holz on my car, lonestar on our other short course car, zbroz on another short course car and alsup racing on our BITD pro turbo can am car. We have ran all different companies for long travel and chromoly is the best weight vs strength. And we forsure prefer pins over uniballs and ball joints.

[@STOKED2SHRED2]

Well in a sense of comparing short course to desert racing is like comparing apples to oranges... A short course car doesn’t take nearly even half the amount of abuse a desert car takes, as you know from your Can-Am. So understandable that you want to be lighter. So I’ll gladly take the couple extra pounds for the strength and durability that HCR provides. A full tubed chromoly tig welded A-arm will definitely come out on top when it comes to weight, but will never compare to a fully boxed arm as far as strength. HCR’s kits are fully tig welded with their own blend of metal material that provides both just about the same strength and weight as chromoly. Now, if you’re talking about HCR’s budget sport line they just came out with, then that’s a different story because that’s mig welded. I have a buddy that put a brand new set of Lone Star arms on his Turbo S running running in pro stock class, took a rock to the lower and completely bent the arm. I’ve taken countless rocks to my HCR and there’s nothing but a couple dings.

@@STOKED2SHRED2 Im only speaking from personal experience and the 4 cars we own plus the 3 sponsored racers we have as well. Boxed is good for say KOH and ultra 4 racing. But open desert, and short course being WORCS, chromoly is the way to go. You figure Phil Blurton runs his No Limit suspension which is all chromoly and his car is as light as you can get it next to the BDI car and Phil is unstoppable haha. Lighter is faster and less wear on everything, especially the longer races. Thats why everyone used to run 34 gallon cells and now most run the 26. Its all about weight and weight savings. Same reason we all run chromoly chassis now. In now way am I saying HCR is a bad product but, just too heavy for the setups we run and the points we try to hit for our cars.

I’m going to take this as good advice, lol, I’m planning on building a Hammers Car.

[@jaydengerber15]

@@max7143 Uf building a KOH car, HCR is a good option

[@raulcolima6343]

Are they hard to install?

[@STOKED2SHRED2]

Not at all. As long as you have the tools and understanding of how the suspension works, you’re good. Should take you no more than a couple of hours.
