King Shocks 16in 4.0 Race Shock 6 Tube Bypass Hose Remote Res 1.25in Shaft Large 1in Bypass Tubes

This is a King Shocks 16-inch 4.0 Race Shock, part number RS4016-BP6H. It features a 1.25-inch diameter shaft and large 1-inch bypass tubes, along with a remote reservoir and six bypass tubes. This shock is built for serious off-road racing and demanding terrain where precise suspension control is critical. The bypass tubes allow for external adjustment of damping characteristics, giving you the flexibility to tune the suspension for specific conditions and driving styles. This level of adjustability is key for optimizing performance on varied race courses or challenging trails.

The 4.0-inch diameter shock body offers ample fluid capacity, which helps manage heat buildup during intense use. Keeping the shock fluid cool is essential for consistent damping performance, especially during long races or aggressive off-road excursions. The 1.25-inch shaft is robust and designed to handle the significant forces encountered in off-road racing. The remote reservoir design further aids in cooling and provides additional oil volume, ensuring the shock operates effectively even under extreme conditions. The six bypass tubes offer a wide range of tuning options, allowing for fine-grained control over compression and rebound characteristics.

When installing these shocks, it's important to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and tuning. Because these are bypass shocks, understanding how to adjust the bypass tubes is crucial for achieving the desired ride quality and performance. This shock is a high-performance component intended for custom suspension builds where maximum control and adjustability are paramount. It's designed to work with a well-engineered suspension system that can take advantage of its advanced features.
