Construction & Design

FOX Performance Elite shocks feature a robust construction using aerospace-grade aluminum for both the shock body and remote reservoir, ensuring a lightweight yet highly durable assembly. The anodized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, essential for off-road environments where exposure to mud, water, and debris is common. The internal bypass design allows the shock to deliver progressive damping, offering a plush ride on small bumps while providing firm control on larger impacts.

The remote reservoir increases oil capacity, which helps dissipate heat more effectively during prolonged off-road use, reducing shock fade and maintaining consistent performance. Precision-machined components and high-quality seals ensure long-lasting reliability and smooth operation under extreme conditions.
