• Progressive rebound tuning optimized for large, aggressive off-road tires
• Durable metal dust boots that protect against dirt, debris, and UV exposure
• Hardened 15mm chrome piston rods for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance
• Triple lip NBR rod seal combined with a Teflon guide bushing to reduce friction and extend seal life
• Large 35mm pistons with low-friction Teflon seals for smooth hydraulic control
• Wide 51mm shock body to increase oil volume and improve heat dissipation under demanding conditions
• OEM-quality vulcanized rubber bushings engineered to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)
• Twin tube gas-charged design for consistent damping performance and shock longevity
• Steel dust cover that resists deterioration from chemicals and UV exposure

Construction & Design

The Trail Performance shock absorber is built with durability and performance as priorities. Its large 51mm twin tube body increases oil capacity, which enhances heat dissipation and extends shock life during heavy use. The hardened chrome piston rod resists wear and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh environments.

Advanced sealing technology, including a triple lip NBR rod seal and Teflon guide bushing, reduces internal friction and prevents premature seal failure. The steel dust cover protects critical components from environmental damage such as dirt, chemicals, and UV rays, maintaining consistent performance over time.

With 35mm pistons and precision valves, the shock absorber provides smooth and precise hydraulic control during rapid wheel movements and extended suspension travel. High durometer vulcanized rubber bushings are tuned to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness, delivering a quieter and more comfortable ride experience.
