S5-AL Suspension Base - White
The Shockwave S5-AL suspension base (formerly the S5 Sentinel) provides comfort and safety to boaters, offering them an experience they’ve never had before. It offers a smoother, safer, and more comfortable ride, protecting occupants from the shock of wave impact. Recreational boaters can stay out longer and travel farther with less fatigue. Made from anodized A360 cast aluminum that has been powder-coated and fitted with 316 stainless steel hardware, the S5-AL suspension base utilizes a four-link forward action suspension design.
Fitted with a FOX Rhythm air-sprung shock with adjustable rebound, suspension travel is 4-inch vertical and 1.5-inch forward, mitigating deceleration associated with wave impact.
A shock pump with a pressure gauge is included with your purchase at no extra cost.
