Description:

Full construction plans for the CV2 rear suspension.

These plans are in a digital (PDF) file available for immediate download.

The Edge Products introduce the CV2 rear suspension. Built upon the popular PIRCV rear suspension the CV2 is an upgraded tougher version.

Designed to go behind the high horsepower bike engines the CV2 driveline can handle in excess of 250 horsepower.

The Edge Products has tested this design for several years in various types of offroad buggy before introducing these “do it yourself” plans.

Please note: The CV2 rear suspension comes with a number of options.

Check which options are appropriate for your vehicle, or contact us for a comprehensive guide to the suspension system and how it can suit your project.

Single inboard XVS brake --- Outboard Wilwood brakes

The single XVS brake is suitable for lighter vehicles such as the Barracuda, but heavier buggies like the X2 benefit from the dual Wilwood calipers' stopping power.

Lower arms with or without track rod mounts.

The X2 is fitted with track rods which mount to the lower suspension arms at specially designed mounting brackets. These arms are not compatible with the Barracuda, which only needs plain arms without the track rod mounts.

The CV2 suspension fitted to our X2 buggy.

Design features include:

Race Proven high angle 930 Porsche CV joints.
Tough drive axles.
Tough centre housing that welds into your chassis.
Double A arm suspension design.
Fully adjustable camber & toe using “quick turn” adjusters.
Huge 115mm Roller bearings to handle offroad abuse.
Progressive camber, (From 0 at ride height up to 12.5 degrees).
Up to 14 inches of true wheel travel.
Tough reliable & easy chain adjustment.
In board 312mm disc brake, (12.3”) with twin piston caliper or outboard 312mm rotors with 4 piston Wilwood calipers.
Large 60 tooth 530 pitch sprocket allowing low gearing.
Electric reverse gear.
Easy to remove central drive cartridge.

Easy & Comprehensive Plans

Full construction plans for the CV2 rear suspension assembly are available, suitable for the home builder. They are derived from our latest CAD models for ultimate accuracy and clarity, including 64 pages of 3D and 2D computer-generated drawings and build notes including parts, material and fastener lists. The CV2 plans lay out the complete build process of the suspension unit, and can be fitted to custom project vehicles for the best in off-road suspension performance.
