Let’s take a look at these advanced suspension forks and just what they can do to transform your zero-turn mower:

What is ZGlide Suspension?

ZGlide Suspension is a direct replacement front wheel fork kit for zero-turn mowers. The secret is every fork uses embedded torsion technology to provide suspension that enables each front wheel to slightly pivot independently when going over rough terrain. The independent pivoting capability absorbs the shock produced from traveling over terrain rather than it being transferred through the frame, as with original equipment cast metal forks. Reducing the shock absorption improves operator comfort and the quality of cut by decreasing the amount of shock and bounce transferred to the mower deck.

What are the benefits?

The main benefits of the ZGlide Suspension forks are a more comfortable ride and a better-quality cut achieved by reducing the vibrations and bounce associated with machine operation on rough or uneven terrain. It’s perfect for those looking for the speed and maneuverability of a zero-turn mower, but who also need a smoother, more comfortable ride.
