What is the purpose of the bypass tubes on this shock?

The bypass tubes allow oil to flow around the main piston in specific parts of the suspension stroke. This lets you adjust and soften the compression or rebound damping in those ranges, giving you more control over how the shock reacts to different terrain.

Why is a remote reservoir important for this shock?

The remote reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity and improves heat dissipation. This helps keep the shock cooler during demanding use, ensuring consistent performance and preventing fade.

What kind of vehicle is this shock typically used for?

Shocks like this are often used in performance and off-road applications where drivers need a high degree of adjustability and durability to tune their suspension for specific conditions.

Product Details

The 3/4 inch bypass tubes on this King Shocks 2.5 Race Shock are a key feature, allowing you to precisely tune the damping characteristics for your specific application. These bypass tubes work by allowing oil to flow around the main piston at certain points in the stroke, effectively softening the compression or rebound damping in that range. With three of these tubes, you get a lot of adjustability to dial in how the shock behaves over different terrain, from smooth pavement to rough off-road trails.

This shock is built around a 2.5-inch diameter body, housing a robust 7/8-inch diameter shaft. The large 3-inch diameter remote reservoir is connected via a hose, which helps keep the shock cool under heavy use by increasing the oil volume and allowing for better heat dissipation. This is crucial for maintaining consistent performance during long runs or when tackling demanding conditions. The overall length of the shock is 12 inches, providing ample travel for many performance-oriented vehicles.

When you're building a suspension system that needs fine-tuned control, shocks like these from King Shocks are a popular choice. They offer a well-built solution for those who want to customize their vehicle's ride and handling beyond what standard shocks can offer. Remember to consult with a suspension specialist or refer to King Shocks' technical documentation for detailed setup and tuning advice specific to your vehicle and intended use.
