Construction & Design

The SX8000 rear shock features a twin tube design that balances strength and flexibility, allowing it to absorb impacts effectively while maintaining vehicle stability. The nitrogen gas charge inside the shock reduces aeration and foaming, which can cause fading during extended use. This technology ensures consistent damping performance even under demanding conditions.

Polyurethane bushings replace traditional rubber components, offering superior resistance to wear, cracking, and environmental damage. This enhances the shock’s longevity and maintains a tight, responsive feel throughout its service life. The shock body is constructed from high-quality materials engineered to resist corrosion and withstand harsh off-road environments.

Installation is straightforward and requires no special modifications when used with lifted suspension setups.
