Fox Racing Shocks 980-02-212-1 2.5 Series 8in Bypass Piggyback Shock 2 Comp 1 Reb Black Custom Valving

The Fox Racing Shocks 980-02-212-1 is a 2.5 Series piggyback bypass shock absorber featuring an 8-inch stroke and custom valving, engineered for high-performance off-road racing and demanding trail applications. With a 2.5-inch body diameter and an integrated piggyback reservoir, this shock delivers superior oil capacity and heat dissipation to maintain consistent damping performance under extended, high-intensity use.

This unit features a 3-tube bypass configuration (2 compression / 1 rebound), allowing precise, position-sensitive damping tuning. Bypass tubes enable the shock to transition between compliant low-speed compliance and firm high-speed control based on suspension travel position — a hallmark of serious race-bred suspension technology. The custom valving spec means this shock has been tuned to a specific damping profile beyond standard off-the-shelf settings.

Key Features:

• 2.5 Series body — 2.5-inch diameter aluminum shock body for maximum oil volume and strength
• 8-inch stroke — substantial travel range suited for long-travel suspension builds
• Piggyback reservoir — external reservoir increases fluid capacity and reduces heat buildup for fade-free performance
• 3-tube bypass configuration — 2 compression bypass tubes + 1 rebound bypass tube for position-sensitive damping control
• Custom valving — tuned damping characteristics for specialized performance requirements
• Black anodized finish — durable, corrosion-resistant hard-anodized aluminum construction
• Serviceable and rebuildable design consistent with Fox Racing Shocks' performance lineup

Fox Racing Shocks' 2.5 Series bypass shocks are trusted by professional off-road racers and serious enthusiasts who demand the highest level of suspension tunability and durability. The Fox 980-02-212-1 is ideal for custom suspension builds requiring precise, race-caliber damping performance.
