Construction & Design

The FOX 2.5 Performance Series rear shock features a robust smooth body design crafted from high-grade materials to withstand the rigors of off-road driving. The internal floating piston separates the oil and nitrogen gas, reducing cavitation and ensuring consistent damping performance. The use of high-temperature oil further enhances the shock’s ability to maintain optimal function even under prolonged stress and heat buildup.

Precision engineering and rigorous testing ensure that each shock meets FOX’s stringent quality standards. The smooth body finish not only contributes to durability but also simplifies cleaning and maintenance after off-road excursions.
