Fox Racing Shocks 981-02-426-1 3.0 Series 14" Bypass Shock 1.00" Shaft Piggyback Custom Valving

The Fox Racing Shocks 981-02-426-1 is a 3.0 Series external bypass shock absorber featuring 14 inches of travel and a piggyback reservoir configuration with custom valving. Engineered for serious off-road racing and high-performance trail use, this shock delivers position-sensitive damping across the full range of wheel travel.

This unit is configured with 4 bypass tube adjusters — 2 compression, 1 rebound, and 1 Gold Valve — and a 1.00-inch diameter shaft, providing a highly tunable damping profile tailored to specific terrain and driving conditions. The Gold Valve adjuster further refines low-speed compression response for superior ride quality over rough and varied terrain.

Key Features:

• 3.0-inch diameter shock body for increased oil volume and improved heat dissipation
• 14 inches of travel with position-sensitive bypass damping
• 4-tube bypass configuration: 2 compression adjusters, 1 rebound adjuster, 1 Gold Valve adjuster
• 1.00-inch hard-chrome plated shaft for durability and rock damage resistance
• Piggyback reservoir increases oil capacity and cooling performance
• Custom valving — shock is valved to order for specific application requirements
• High-temp Viton® seals for long service life in demanding conditions
• Proprietary Fox racing oil rated for high-temperature performance
• Dual-coated body with Fox Grey Cerakote® ceramic coating over zinc plated basecoat for corrosion resistance
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings for smooth, quiet operation

Fox's bypass shock technology allows the shock tuner to calibrate damping based on both piston velocity and piston position within the stroke, delivering a plush ride in the normal travel zone while ramping up damping force under extreme inputs. Custom valving ensures this shock is optimized precisely for its intended use.
