Fox Racing 2.0 Shock Absorber 6.5" Travel # 980-02-023
This part number 980-02-023 has been discontinued by FOX and is no longer available for purchase. FOX has eliminated the 2.0 Factory Emulsion Series and replaced it with either the 2.0 IFP / IFP Adventure or Factory 2.0 Reservoir series shock.
Fox Racing Shox have been used on winning off-road racing vehicles since the 1970s. With hundreds of class victories and thousands of hours of off-road use, its no wonder Fox Racing Shox is considered one of the best builders of performance shock absorbers on the planet! Fox has put over 25 years of off-road racing and shock building experience into these shocks and it shows. The Fox 2.0 series are completely rebuildable and allow for fine tuning which means these shocks are quite possibly the last set you'll ever need to purchase for your vehicle.

These Fox Racing 2.0 Factory Series 6.5" Travel Shocks include an internal reservoir. A shock absorber that builds up too much heat will not function properly. As the shock absorber is exposed to exessive heat it will fade and/or fail. If you are experiencing excessive shock failure or fading, it may be time to step up to the performance of a Fox 2.0 Factory Series Shock Absorber, or possibly add another shock. By adding another shock, you are spreading the work load from one shock to multiple shocks. Increased cooling capability will be achieved from the following factors:
Decreased Friction:
When you use a multiple shock set up, lighter valved shocks can be used which will decrease friction.
Increased Oil Capacity:
The more oil, the better. Higher oil volumes take longer to heat. Another method of increasing oil capacity is to utilize a remote reservoir or use a larger diameter shock. The additional volume of the reservoir allows the Fox 2.0 shock to maintain a lower and more even operating temperature which allows them to survive under conditions that blow other shocks apart!
