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

The bypass tubes allow oil to flow around the main piston, creating zones of adjustable damping. This lets you fine-tune the shock's response to different suspension movements, providing more control on rough terrain without making the ride too stiff on smoother sections.

How does the piggyback reservoir help?

The piggyback reservoir holds extra oil and helps dissipate heat generated during heavy use. This keeps the shock oil cooler, preventing performance fade and ensuring consistent damping even during long, demanding off-road runs or races.

Does this shock come with all the necessary mounting hardware?

This shock is sold individually and typically includes the shock absorber and reservoir assembly. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's documentation or contact their support to verify exactly what hardware is included for installation on your specific application.

Product Details

When you're pushing your off-road vehicle to its limits on challenging terrain, having suspension that can keep up is critical. This King Shocks 4.5-inch Race Shock is built for those demanding situations where precise control and consistent damping are non-negotiable. It features a 26-inch extended length and a 1.25-inch diameter shaft, designed to handle the rigors of racing and extreme off-road use.

This shock absorber incorporates a 7-tube bypass design, allowing for a significant amount of adjustability in your suspension's damping characteristics. The piggyback reservoir is mounted directly to the shock body, making it a compact and efficient way to manage heat and provide consistent performance even under prolonged, hard use. The large 1-inch bypass tubes offer a wide range of tuning options, letting you dial in the ride for specific track conditions or driving styles. King Shocks are well-known for their robust construction and the ability to provide a comfortable ride without sacrificing control, even in the roughest environments.

This shock is a serious piece of equipment for anyone looking to optimize their vehicle's suspension for competitive off-roading or extreme trail riding. While this shock is sold individually, consider that a complete suspension system often requires matching shocks for both front and rear axles, or at least pairing them with similar performance-oriented components to achieve balanced handling. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific setup and tuning recommendations.
