Construction & Design

The FOX Perf Series shocks feature a robust smooth body construction crafted from high-strength materials to endure the rigors of off-road driving and heavy-duty use. The internal floating piston design separates the nitrogen gas from the hydraulic oil, which eliminates foaming and ensures consistent damping performance throughout the shock’s stroke. This advanced engineering reduces fade and improves shock response, providing superior control and stability.

Precision-machined components and premium seals contribute to long-lasting reliability and resistance to environmental contaminants. The shock’s design also facilitates efficient heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining performance during extended or aggressive driving conditions.
