What is the purpose of the piggyback reservoir?

The piggyback reservoir holds extra shock fluid, which helps to keep the shock cool under heavy use. This reduces heat buildup and maintains consistent damping performance, especially during prolonged off-road driving or high-speed runs.

What does the DSC adjuster do?

DSC stands for Dual Speed Compression. It allows you to adjust both low-speed and high-speed compression damping independently. This gives you more control over how the shock reacts to small bumps and larger impacts, tailoring the ride to different terrain and driving styles.

Can this shock be rebuilt or serviced?

Yes, this Fox coilover shock is designed to be rebuildable and serviceable. This means you can maintain its performance over time by replacing seals, fluid, and other components as needed, extending the life of the shock.
