Fox Racing Shocks 981-02-395-1 3.5 Factory Race 14in External Bypass Piggyback Shock Custom Valving

The Fox Racing Shocks 981-02-395-1 is a 3.5 Series Factory Race External Bypass Piggyback Shock featuring a 14-inch stroke with a 4-tube bypass configuration — 2 compression and 2 rebound bypass tubes — and a 1-inch bypass tube diameter. Designed for serious off-road racing and high-performance trail use, this shock is built to deliver precise, tunable damping across the full range of suspension travel.

Fox's external bypass design routes oil through adjustable bypass tubes positioned along the shock body, allowing independent tuning of compression and rebound damping at specific points in the stroke. This gives racers and builders the ability to dial in a plush initial stroke for small-bump compliance while maintaining progressive resistance and bottoming control under heavy impact.

Key Features:

• 3.5 Series Factory Race shock body — race-proven platform built for demanding off-road conditions
• 14-inch stroke with external bypass configuration (2 compression / 2 rebound tubes)
• 1-inch bypass tube diameter for optimized oil flow and damping response
• Piggyback reservoir increases oil volume for improved fade resistance and consistent performance under heat
• Custom Valving — shock is valved to order for specific application and load requirements
• Zinc-plated seamless alloy shock body for corrosion resistance and durability
• 17-4 H900 stainless steel shaft for industry-leading strength and wear resistance
• Black anodized CNC-machined aluminum components
• Teflon-lined, heat-treated spherical bearings for smooth articulation
• Redundant sealing system for long service life
• 100% rebuildable and serviceable for extended lifespan
• Fox Racing oil formulated specifically for optimal shock performance

Custom valving means this shock is configured at the factory to match a specific suspension setup, load, and performance target. It is fully rebuildable and re-valvable, making it a long-term investment for race builds, prerunners, and competition off-road vehicles.
