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

The external bypass tubes allow you to independently adjust the compression and rebound damping characteristics of the shock. This lets you fine-tune the ride quality and handling for specific terrain and driving conditions.

Why is the piggyback reservoir important?

The piggyback reservoir increases the shock's fluid capacity, which helps dissipate heat more effectively. This reduces the chance of shock fade during prolonged, hard use, ensuring consistent performance.

What kind of applications is this shock best suited for?

This 3.0 Race Shock with bypass tubes is designed for high-performance off-road vehicles that encounter demanding terrain. It's ideal for applications where precise suspension tuning and durability are critical.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components that handle tough off-road conditions. This 12-inch 3.0 Race Shock is a prime example, featuring a large 3/4 inch bypass tube design and a piggyback reservoir for enhanced cooling and adjustability. It's built for serious off-road use where precise control and durability are essential.

This shock absorber uses a 1-inch diameter shaft, which is robust and helps maintain consistent damping performance even under heavy loads and high speeds. The 3.0-inch diameter body offers ample fluid capacity, further contributing to heat dissipation and preventing shock fade during extended use. The swivel hose and piggyback reservoir allow for easy mounting and tuning, giving you the flexibility to dial in your suspension for specific terrain and driving styles. The four external bypass tubes allow for a wide range of compression and rebound adjustments, letting you fine-tune the ride quality and handling characteristics of your vehicle.

When you're building a high-performance off-road vehicle, the suspension is critical. This King Shocks bypass shock is designed to provide the control and comfort needed to tackle challenging trails. It's a substantial component that requires proper installation, so be sure to consult the manufacturer's instructions or a qualified professional to ensure it's set up correctly for your application.
