Product Details
This is the Fox 3.5 Factory Race Series 16-inch External Bypass shock, featuring a 5-tube design with a 1-inch shaft. This shock is built for serious off-road performance, offering the kind of damping control and suspension response needed whether you're tackling desert whoops or technical rock crawling. Fox dedicates significant research and development to create suspension that can handle extreme conditions and deliver reliable, consistent performance when you need it most.
What sets this shock apart is its external bypass design, which allows for a more sophisticated level of tuning. The bypass tubes enable oil to flow around the main piston, providing adjustable damping characteristics that can be customized to your specific driving style and terrain. This shock is also rebuildable and serviceable, meaning you can maintain its performance over time. Fox offers custom valving options, allowing you to fine-tune the shock's response for your unique application, ensuring it works precisely how you want it to.
When considering a high-performance shock like this, it's important to note that custom valving requires specific knowledge or consultation to achieve the desired results. Because this is a high-end component designed for demanding use, you'll want to ensure it's properly installed and tuned to take full advantage of its capabilities. This shock is a robust option for those looking to significantly improve their vehicle's off-road suspension performance.
