desert speed set up one of my class 11 shocks. Promised a lot and delivered more. Super easy to work with.

Matt went above and beyond in service. I called him 5 days before a world record distance jump. He got the shocks done in one day and brought them out. He then spent two days with me adjusting them to perfection. I jumped 247 feet and landed all 4 tires at the same time. You can’t ask for better than that. I promise you that he is one of the best there is. Thank you again

It was an absolute pleasure working with Matt. He not only rebuilt my X3 Max XRS RR's shocks but also expertly valved and tuned them, resulting in a remarkably smoother ride. His attention to detail was evident as he meticulously aligned everything and even provided valuable suggestions on parts that required attention or replacement. I am truly grateful for his exceptional service and highly recommend Desert Speed to anyone seeking top-notch expertise.

First word when you get the machine back from Matt, “WOW”! I love how he has reached out to me asking how it feels and if it needs anything, to reach out to him! He is such a great shock scientist! 👨‍🔬 TAKE IT to desert speed shock tuning, you won’t regret it.

Matt is a terrific human being. We broke a shock on our Toyota Tundra while touring the San Rafael Swell. Matt tried to source a new shock to no avail; He set his other work aside; then dropped the driver side front end and welded the (old) shock mounting rod back together. After Matt's work, we had an uneventful 500 mile drive home. Thank you Matt for coming to our rescue in our hour of need.

Super friendly guy, was super helpful and knowledgeable and helped me understand things about my shocks that I previously didn’t know. From everything I’ve heard he’s the best shock guy west of the Mississippi! (Probably in the USA) anyways quality work and will absolutely go back.

Matt has always taken care of myself and friends. From tuning a small RS1 RZR or a 400 truck, he has had me covered. His knowledge base, communication and work ethic is bar none. Even if you don't think you need tuning services on your vehicle, you do and Matt's your guy for the job.

Matt is the man!!!! Super friendly, super helpful and one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever spoken to in regards to shocks! My wife actually likes to ride in the rzr again! You want it done right? Talk to Matt at Desert Speed Shock tuning! Oh and who calls and texts a few days after picking up your rzr to see if you love it? Matt does.... Not a common business practice these days but that’s just what he did, kudos to you man.

Matt is awesome. He rebuilt the shocks on my raptor. I didn’t like a small detail on the rear shocks but live 7 hours away. I was doing a run with Raptor Takeover and he drove down from his house on a Friday night at 9 pm to swap the shocks and do some testing. Absolutely the best customer service that’s humanly possible. You will regret not choosing to use him

Matt is an absolute wizard. Made one pass and he knew exactly what was goin on with my bypasses and everything. I picked up 30+ mph through everything all thanks to Matt! No matter how far you live, a tuning session, or a rebuild, from Matt is worth every mile and every penny. Can’t thank Desert Speed enough! Here’s to a LONG future ahead in partnership with them.

I thought the pro R had good suspension coming from factory but after having Matt get it set up right I’ll never own another stock set up! And he’s one of the nicest guys around!

Desert Speed Shock Tuning was one of the the BEST experiences I have ever had. I made the mistake of not going to Matt in the first place. So the shocks on my XPT had been worked on by a different company and they were horrible. Matt completely redid the shocks even repairing the mistakes made by the previous company. He did this all on a moments notice so we could take a family riding that same weekend. I can’t say enough good things about his professionalism, work ethic and skill. Thank you Matt..

Rob Peterson

I cant say enough good things about the work Desert Speed Shock Tuning! I had Matt help me out with springs and valving setup on my Razor. I never imagined it would ride this smooth and perform so well over whoops! Dont mess around with other companies, do yourself a favor and call Desert Speed first

Brandon Stradling

.Awesome dude! He answered all the questions I had for him. He was also super quick getting my machine back to me! My machine rides 10x better than it did before. Super happy with him tuning it as well. Wouldn’t take my rzr anywhere else for suspension work.

If you want the best ride quality in your UTV, you need to take your shocks to Matt Bell at Desert Speed. I have had my UTV shocks worked on by some of the best and unfortunately some who have no clue what they are doing both resulting in a less than satisfactory outcome.

I have taken my Can Am to Desert Speed for the last two seasons (1st for a shock tune-up, and 2nd for a complete rebuild). Both outcomes gave my UTV the best ride ever. You can either mail your shocks to him or drop your UTV off at Desert Speed’s shop and he will do the work. Personally I trailer my X3 to Desert Speed located in Huntington, Utah, I tell him what kind of performance I want and he gets it perfect every time. Desert Speed and Matt Bell are the best in the suspension industry, whether it be UTVs, off road truck, cars, or anything off road. Simply put, he is the best!

Matt was awesome to deal with all a long the way. This being my first go fast build I really had no clue where to start and Matt had the front end dialed in. Gave me direction to rework shock angles and mounting on the rear, stoked to go out and tune with him to see where the truck ends up. Service was top notch, he is professional and personable! I would highly suggest his services to anybody looking to take their rig to the next level!

Matt’s customer service is second to none, he has texted me several times just to make sure everything was great with the shock set-up on my RZR. It rides like a dream now and I can’t wait for utv invasion at St. Anthony. Thanks a million!!!!

Matt has been amazing to work with, he goes the extra mile to call/ text you to make sure you’re happy with his services which is not the case with a lot of other shops! Since having him service my shocks on my Polaris 1000 Turbo S it has been a night and day difference.
I recommend this upgrade to any SxS owner, and also Matt for his amazing service!

I had some shocks re-done and I couldn't be happier. Great ride, had them back quick, great deal, and he's been nothing but help with all of my questions since

Matt is so friendly and an awesome shock tuner. Can make any ride handle like a dream. Fast and friendly and very affordable service. You won’t be disappointed with his service.

Had my 17 XP4 Turbo Fox shocks revalved and eibach springs done by Desert Speed. I can't emphasise enough at what an awesome job they did. .I wouldn't go anywhere else to have my shocks done. I'd give them a 10 star review if I could. The best shock tuning you can get IMO.

David Bowen

Matt at Desert speed shock tuning is a very knowledgeable shock guy. Had him tune my rail and one of my side by sides at the dunes over Easter and I need to say I was very impressed. Best part of it is after He rebuilt my shocks a couple of weeks prior, he actually came out to tune at the dunes. Highly recommend these guys. Honest, affordable, and knowledgeable.

Max Franco

Great experience working with Matt at Desert Speed. He exceeded my expectations and did phenomenal job on a set of Walker Evan's we had. I would reccomend him to anyone.

Scott Kartchner

Brought in a coil over for a leak repair. Once the shock was torn down an internal component failure was found. Matt took the time to repair an OEM failure and get me back on the road.

Desi Parrill

I took two different utv's to Matt. Both had been tuned by other shock guys in the past. I can't believe how good they ride now. I also had a few friends out there in the desert with us during my on-site tuning. All of them where impressed with the end product. Matt has my business from now on. I even have a custom car I'm working on and I'll have him do that in as well.

You’re wasting your money if you go anywhere else. Simple as that. He’s the best in the game.

stephen alston

Matt was great to work with, professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He stepped me through everything he was doing and was very responsive to questions. When I got the shocks back they looked great and ride even better. Matt has taken the time to check back in with me several times over the past few weeks to see how the shocks are doing. I can’t wait to have him dial them in further at the dunes. I would recommend Matt for any shock tuning needs.

Matt Mapston

I was not happy with my turbo s with the way it rode. It bucked over whoops and would bottom out on dunes transitions no matter where I put the clickers. Matt rebuilt them with Eibach springs and it is now amazing. I picked up the shocks ran home and put them on and headed for the dunes. I can hit anything as fast as I want and it absorbs it all. Matt checked in with me multiple times that day to see how it was working. Great guy, great service. Have your shocks done you won't be disappointed

David Peterson

Matt is amazing! He really knows his stuff and takes the time to work with your schedule to come out and tune/test. After he tuned my shocks, it is a completely different car. Very reasonably priced and nice guy!! 100% recommend!

Ashley Burton

/

Matt, at desert speed shock tuning, is amazing! He knows exactly what you need for your riding style, and machine. He is very reasonably priced, and has the best customer service I have ever experienced in any industry. I would recommend desert speed to everyone serious about their ride and performance!

Paul Seegmiller

Matt's great with outstanding customer service and phenomenal technical ability. He transformed my X3 RC with his race package. Shocks now feel like a true bypass with a far more compliant mid-stroke and improved bottoming resistance over stock. Compared to my 4400 car the X3 typically takes 20-30% longer for a given section of trail...first time out with the new setup the X3 was only 3% slower and I suspect with additional time in the car along with some fine tuning it may actually be faster than the 4400 through some sections...amazing and truly transformed the car.

We took our Gladiator Mojave to Matt to re-build and re-valve our Fox shocks. Our Mojave had always had a pretty nice ride, but after adding a lift and a rooftop tent we wanted the shocks to match the modifications.
After being told by a couple other shops that they would not work on the factory Fox's that come on the Mojave, we found Matt. He didn't bat an eye when we told him what shocks we had.
He worked with us on leaving a spare vehicle at his yard on two weekends so we could go play. After picking up the Jeep, we headed into the Swell for testing. No Jeep with 35's and a rooftop tent should handle bumps and corners like our Jeep, but here we are. Matt warned us that with the short travel on the shocks, the re-valve is limited. His work was absolutely noticeable and he will be keeping our shocks alive for years to come.
Matt does amazing work and can absolutely improve the ride quality on your rig!

Matt was fantastic to work with. He is responsive and kept to his stated lead times. My machine’s handling has improved greatly and is noticeably more smooth. I would and have recommended him and his work to anyone who needs off-road suspension work.

Matt reworked the King shocks on my Ram 2500 running the Carli Dominator system and I couldn't be happier. Truck rides great and he completed it well under the time I expected it would take. He also checked in after the work to make sure I was happy with the performance. I highly recommend his services.

Bart Crowther

Matt will go above and beyond to make sure your shocks are perfect for your car. He has gone to extremes to get our shocks ready on our race cars. Met with us hours away from his house to tune them perfectly. He tunes every set of shocks for you, your car and weight so it rides how you want. It's not just a general tune with some springs, it's one on one time. Just when you think they are perfect you get the "but wait there is more" and your car gets faster and smoother

I dropped off my machine he said it would be done in a week called me in a week I went and picked it up he explained everything he did in detail it is amazing how my machine rides and handles he really knows suspension I have had work done at other shops he is by far the best in the business.

If you want solid results and service your in the right place . I have had Matt work on multiple vehicles of mine, off-road buggies and my daily drivers. He does amazing work, he knows his stuff I’ve tried many others and they just don’t get It . I’m a customer for life 💪

Nate Reynolds

Recently had Matt rebuild and revalve shocks on my rzr, has never felt better! He knows exactly what your car needs and you will be satisfied before he is with your ride!

Sean Gow

Matt took his time (twice) to go out with my pre-runner and get it dialed in. Never seemed rushed at all and that’s what I appreciated. Re-valved on-site as well (couple of times). Brought out an assortment of different springs to get the right combination. Suspesnsion is key in the desert and he knows his stuff. Thanks Matt.
