FAQ
What is a ShredShox!
The ShredShox platform is an advanced ski technology designed to enhance your skiing experience by integrating cutting-edge suspension and damping components. Built with high-performance materials like carbon fiber, aluminum, and titanium, ShredShox incorporates adjustable air shocks and a suspended carbon platform to reduce physical strain, absorb impact, and stabilize movement on the slopes.
This platform’s unique combination of shocks and a resilient, responsive chassis allows skiers to customize their ride to handle rough terrain, minimize chatter, and reduce stress on muscles and joints. ShredShox delivers smoother control, more precise edge engagement, and an overall more comfortable experience, enabling skiers to maximize their time on the mountain and stay strong for years to come.
What is the ShredShox made of?
The ShredShox platform is crafted from a selection of premium, high-performance materials:
Carbon Fiber: Provides a strong yet lightweight structure, offering resilience and responsiveness.
Aluminum: Adds durability and flexibility while keeping the overall weight low, ideal for components that need to absorb and withstand frequent vibration.
Titanium: Highly resistant to corrosion and fatigue, titanium is used for its strength and ability to handle intense stress without adding significant weight.
Tuneable Air Shocks: Allow for adjustable suspension, giving skiers the ability to fine-tune the damping based on terrain and personal skiing style, reducing impact on muscles and joints.
These materials work together to create a platform that is strong, adaptable, and designed for high performance on the slopes.

How will this effect my binding performance?
No, you do not need to change your bindings. ShredShox has been extensively tested in collaboration with Start Haus in Truckee, California, to assess all release characteristics. Our testing, conducted on a Wintersteiger machine, confirmed that there is no change in binding performance when used with the ShredShox platform. You can continue to use your existing bindings without any concerns about safety or functionality.
How Much Does the ShredShox Weigh?
The ShredShox platform adds approximately 3 pounds per foot, designed to enhance performance without compromising agility on the slopes. Through six generations of rigorous product testing, users noted the added weight, but it did not lead to any adverse effects during skiing. In fact, the elevated riding position combined with the added weight delivers a surprising benefit—a lowered center of gravity that theoretically assists with cornering. This unique balance helps skiers maintain stability and control, especially when navigating sharp turns or high-speed descents.
Does the ShredShox Include Bindings?
No, the ShredShox platform does not include bindings. However, most bindings are compatible with ShredShox and can be easily installed by you or your local technician. We provide detailed instructions and templates to guide you through the installation process.
While installation can be done independently, we always recommend having your bindings installed by a professional technician to ensure proper setup and safety. This will guarantee optimal performance and reliability on the mountain.
Do I Need to Put Air in My ShredShox?
Yes, you will need to use a mountain bike air shock pump to set the air pressure in your ShredShox. It is recommended to start with 35-50 lbs of air pressure in each shock. From there, you can adjust the pressure based on your weight and skiing performance.
Increasing the air pressure can help fine-tune the suspension for a firmer ride, while reducing it can provide a softer feel, depending on your preference and the terrain conditions. This customization ensures that ShredShox is optimized for your unique skiing style and needs.
ShredShox Pressure Guidance
The following grid offers baseline guidance for tuning your ShredShox system. For your initial descents, set the rebound clicks to a neutral position.
For increased reactivity: Adjust the rebound to a faster setting.
For smoother absorption and slower transitions: Adjust the rebound to a slower setting.
Start with these recommendations and fine-tune based on your riding style and terrain preferences.
