QA1 12.00 Stud/T-Bar V 4-10 Shock Large Steel 8.63

This is a QA1 5Q Series Twin Tube Large body Circle Track Shock. It's built for demanding circle track racing applications where quick adjustments and reliable performance are key. The shock body is constructed from steel for durability, and the large body design helps manage heat during intense racing conditions.

QA1 has put some smart details into this shock. The gland has relief cuts and a special port, which makes filling and bleeding the shock much simpler when you're assembling it. Plus, the two-piece body design and slip-fit compression tube mean you can take it apart and put it back together easily, even for re-valving. This is a big deal for racers who need to fine-tune their suspension on the fly. An upgraded seal kit is also included to help prevent leaks, especially when you're dealing with high rebound forces.

For racers who need to make quick changes, the 5Q shocks can be re-valved and rebuilt in minutes with basic tools. The serial numbers and valving information are laser-engraved on a black-anodized closure nut, making them easy to read whether you're at the track or in the shop.
