QA1 26 Series Monotube Shock Absorber - 7in Stroke - Hyperscrew - 3-6 Valving - Steel

QA1 is well-known for their suspension components, and their 26 Series shock absorber is a solid option for a variety of racing applications. This particular shock is designed as a monotube unit, meaning it has a single tube construction that helps manage heat and maintain consistent performance. It’s often used as a traction shock, especially in modifieds, late models, and other dirt racing classes, and it also works well on bumpy asphalt tracks.

This shock features a 2-inch diameter zinc-plated steel body, which helps resist corrosion, keeping it looking good and functioning well even in harsh conditions. The 'hyperscrew' designation means it has a threaded port near the bearing end, sealed with a screw and O-ring to keep the nitrogen gas pressure contained. While this configuration means gas pressure adjustments must be done by QA1 or authorized rebuilders, it ensures a stable internal environment. The 46mm piston inside helps you maintain control of your vehicle across a wide range of shaft speeds, and the 3-6 valving offers a good balance for many track conditions. Plus, it’s built in the USA and every unit is dyno-tested and serialized to ensure it meets performance standards.

Because these shocks are racer rebuildable and revalveable, you can maintain their performance over time or adjust them for different track conditions. This makes them a repeatable and reliable choice for serious racers looking to fine-tune their suspension.
