AVID YXZ1000 Rear 12" WIY Shock Tower

Rear Shock Relocation Towers — Yamaha YXZ1000R — 4130 Chromoly Weld-In

Give your YXZ the same geometry gains as our bolt-on towers—now in a weld-in 4130 chromoly package. This tower ties shock loads directly into the chassis, moving the upper mount upward and forward for a near-vertical stance that sharpens damping efficiency and bottom-out control. Stronger structure, lower cost—requires professional welding.

• Weld-in design — integrated load path for maximum rigidity.
• 4130 chromoly — laser-cut, Polished, CNC-formed, TIG-ready.
• Optimized geometry — increases shock verticality & tuning window.
• Race-focused value — higher strength at a financially lower price point.
• Engineered for AVID MT & XC rear suspension kits
• Compatible with factory-length OEM or Fox Race shocks.
• Model years: All years. 2019+ YXZ1000R (rear-mounted radiator) will need a mount trimmed .
