Smoother Ride. Greater Control. Built the Bandit Way.

Bandit Black Label Performance•2 UTV Shocks deliver improved comfort, traction, stability, and control for riders ready to upgrade their Can Am Commander 800/1000 suspension without unnecessary complexity.

What You'll Notice on Your First Ride

Is Performance•2 Right for You?

Performance•2 is ideal for riders who want improved ride quality with the added benefit of suspension tuning.

Perfect for:

• Recreational trail riding

• Hunting and property use

• Riders carrying passengers or cargo

• UTV owners looking for adjustability without complicated tuning

Why Performance•2 Performs Better

Performance•2 combines Bandit's proprietary TSV (2-Stage Terrain Sensitive Valving), Internal Floating Piston (IFP) technology, vehicle-specific valving, custom spring rates, and rear rebound adjustment to deliver smoother ride quality, better traction, improved stability, and more consistent suspension performance than factory suspension.

The IFP design keeps oil and nitrogen separated for consistent damping, while rear rebound adjustment allows you to fine-tune suspension response for changing terrain, passengers, cargo, and riding style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are my shocks customized?

Every Performance•2 shock package is built specifically for your UTV using your vehicle information, rider weight, passenger weight, accessories, cargo, and riding style. This allows us to select the proper spring rates and establish a baseline suspension setup before your shocks leave our facility.

What is Bandit's TSV (2-Stage Terrain Sensitive Valving)?

Bandit's proprietary TSV technology helps absorb small bumps and trail chatter while maintaining traction, stability, and control as terrain becomes rougher and speeds increase.

What does rear rebound adjustment do?

Rear rebound adjustment controls how quickly the rear suspension extends after compression, allowing you to fine-tune ride quality and handling for different terrain and vehicle loads.

Are these shocks rebuildable?

Yes. Every Bandit Black Label shock is fully rebuildable and serviceable, making them a long-term investment in your UTV's performance.
