Construction & Design
The FOX Performance Elite Series shocks are crafted from premium materials to withstand the harshest off-road environments. The anodized aluminum shock body and reservoir provide a lightweight yet robust structure that resists corrosion and damage from debris. The internal floating piston separates the oil and nitrogen gas, maintaining consistent damping pressure and preventing foaming or cavitation during intense use.
The external reservoir increases oil volume, which helps dissipate heat more effectively, reducing shock fade during prolonged off-road runs. The shock’s valving is engineered to deliver a balanced ride, offering both comfort on pavement and control on rough terrain. High-quality seals and precision machining ensure long-lasting performance and reliability.
