What is the primary benefit of a bypass shock like this one?

Bypass shocks allow for independent tuning of damping throughout the shock's travel. This means you can set up specific damping rates for different parts of the stroke, offering improved comfort over small bumps and better control during large impacts or bottoming out.

How does the remote reservoir help this shock?

The remote reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity and surface area for cooling. This helps prevent the shock fluid from overheating, which can lead to performance fade, especially during prolonged, hard use like off-road racing.

What kind of tuning is involved with a 7-tube bypass shock?

Tuning involves adjusting the flow of oil through the bypass tubes to control compression and rebound damping at different points in the shock's travel. This requires specialized knowledge and often involves trial and error to match the shock's performance to the vehicle and terrain.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road racing and extreme use. This 14-inch 4.0 Race Shock is a prime example of their commitment to advanced suspension technology. It's designed to give you precise control and damping adjustments in demanding off-road conditions, whether you're tackling desert races or serious trail riding.

This shock features a large 4.0-inch diameter body, which helps dissipate heat effectively, crucial for maintaining consistent performance during long, hard runs. Inside, a beefy 1.25-inch diameter shaft handles the heavy loads. What really sets this shock apart is the 7-tube bypass design. These bypass tubes allow you to tune the shock's damping characteristics independently throughout its stroke. You can set up soft compression in the initial travel for comfort over small bumps, and then firm it up for larger impacts or bottoming resistance. The remote reservoir further aids in cooling and provides additional oil capacity, ensuring the shock stays cool and performs reliably even under extreme stress. The 1-inch bypass tubes are large, allowing for significant fluid displacement and fine-tuned damping control.

When installing this shock, remember that bypass shocks require careful tuning to achieve their full potential. You'll want to work with someone experienced in setting up bypass systems to dial in the compression and rebound settings for your specific vehicle and driving style. This shock is a serious piece of equipment for those looking to maximize their vehicle's off-road capability and handling.
