2012–2025 Kawasaki Teryx T2 & T4 UTV Shocks – Bandit Black Label Base•1

Adds 25% More Wheel Travel & 2 Inches of Lift Over Factory Suspension

Upgrade your 2012–2025 Kawasaki Teryx T2 & T4 with Bandit Black Label Base•1 Shocks for improved comfort, stability, and suspension control across trails, rough terrain, and everyday UTV use.

Designed by Bandit UTV Suspension and manufactured in partnership with Elka Suspension, each package is individually serialized, custom-sprung for rider weight, and tuned using Bandit's proprietary Terrain Sensitive Valving (TSV).

Increased Wheel Travel & Built-In Lift

Bandit Black Label Base•1 shocks add approximately 2 inches of lift and increased wheel travel, improving ground clearance and rough-terrain capability without a bracket-style lift kit.

Factory Wheel Travel
• Front: 8"
• Rear: 8.3"

Bandit Black Label Wheel Travel
• Front: 10"
• Rear: 10.5"

The Bandit shocks are approximately 1 inch longer eye-to-eye than the factory Fox shocks, creating the additional ride height directly through the suspension.
