FOX 2.5 Factory Series 16-inch Air Shock with 1-5/8-inch Shaft – Black

Description

The FOX 2.5 Factory Series 16-inch Air Shock (Part Number: 980-02-243) is engineered for durability and high performance in demanding off-road conditions. Designed with a 1-5/8-inch diameter shaft, this shock provides exceptional strength and precise damping control, making it ideal for competitive rock crawling and desert racing applications. The air shock design allows for infinite adjustability of spring rate by varying nitrogen pressure, enabling tailored suspension tuning for different terrains and driving styles. This feature ensures optimal traction and stability whether you’re soaring over dunes or navigating treacherous rock faces. The shock’s aluminum body dissipates heat more efficiently than steel, maintaining performance during extended use, while the hard chromed 4130 alloy steel shaft offers added durability and reduced weight. The Fox Racing Oil, specifically developed for ultimate performance, is separated from high-pressure nitrogen gas by the Internal Floating Piston (IFP), ensuring consistent damping behavior. The hourglass bushings increase articulation, providing smoother movement and enhanced suspension flexibility. CNC-machined aluminum components are finished with a black anodized coating, offering corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance. Built with a zinc-plated alloy body and heavy-duty, high-chrome shafts, this shock is designed to withstand the rigors of competitive off-road racing. Rebuildable and serviceable, it allows for custom valving options to fine-tune damping characteristics to your specific vehicle setup. With over 35 years of race-winning technology integrated into its design, the FOX 2.5 Factory Series shock is a reliable choice for serious off-road enthusiasts seeking consistent, high-performance suspension components.
