What is the primary benefit of the bypass tubes on this shock?

The bypass tubes allow oil to flow around the main piston at specific points in the suspension stroke. This provides a unique tuning capability, enabling finer control over compression and rebound characteristics for different terrains and driving conditions.

What is the purpose of the piggyback reservoir?

The piggyback reservoir increases the shock's fluid capacity and helps dissipate heat more effectively. This is important for maintaining consistent damping performance during extended use or high-speed driving, preventing shock fade.

Is this shock sold as a pair or individually?

This King Shocks RS2512-BP2P is sold individually. For a complete suspension setup, you will need to purchase multiple shocks to outfit the front or rear of your vehicle.

Product Details

What you get with this King Shocks RS2512-BP2P is a single 12-inch long, 2.5-inch diameter race shock. It features a 7/8-inch diameter shaft and a piggyback reservoir with two external bypass tubes. This setup is designed for vehicles that need advanced damping control and adjustability for demanding off-road conditions.

This shock absorber is built with a focus on performance and durability. The 2.5-inch diameter main body houses the damping mechanism, while the piggyback reservoir allows for increased fluid capacity and better heat dissipation, which is crucial during extended runs or high-speed desert driving. The two external bypass tubes offer a unique tuning capability; they allow oil to bypass the main piston at specific points in the suspension stroke, giving you finer control over compression and rebound characteristics. This means you can dial in the ride for different terrains, from washboard roads to large jumps, without compromising overall performance. The large 3/4-inch bypass tubes are a key feature for achieving this level of adjustability and control.

The 7/8-inch shaft is robust and designed to handle the stresses of off-road racing and extreme use. King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their ability to provide a comfortable ride on rough terrain while maintaining excellent control. While this shock is sold individually, serious off-road builds often require a matched set for the front or rear of the vehicle, so consider purchasing multiples to outfit your suspension system. Always refer to manufacturer instructions for proper installation and tuning.
