Cognito Motorsports was founded by Justin Lambert in 2001, just operating out of a converted chicken coop in Arroyo Grande, California. Now, two decades later, Cognito has become an industry leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of high-quality, proprietary suspension, steering, and chassis components for several popular trucks, SUVs, and UTVs. Justin’s passion for off-road racing paired with the rising popularity of UTVs inspired him to begin developing a comprehensive line of suspension upgrades for Can-Am, Polaris, and Yamaha. With proven performance and durability in the most extreme conditions, including under the pressures of competition, Cognito Motorsports has quickly become the leader in UTV aftermarket products for those looking for the very best.

Cognito Motorsports has just announced the release of some new suspension parts for the 2016-2021 Yamaha YXZ1000R. The first is the Cognito Long Travel Suspension Package with Demon Axle Assemblies. This is designed to be a complete turn-key long travel suspension system for your Yamaha. It comes complete with all of the components needed to turn an average Yamaha YXZ1000 into a seriously off-road capable machine. This package has been rigorously tested for thousands of desert race miles to ensure long-term durability and optimal performance. From the deserts of Baja to the dunes, the Cognito long travel suspension package will take your driving experience to the next level.
With this package, suspension travel is increased to 19 inches, while increasing ground clearance at full bump. In stock form, the YXZ1000 has zero ground clearance at full bump, making the chassis prone to contacting the ground when the suspension is fully compressed. If you are looking for the very best long travel suspension system for your UTV, this is the one. Manufactured right here in the USA in Central Valley, California, this package will get you there with the reliability and safety you deserve.
