FOX Racing Factory Race Series 2.0 Shock - 12" Travel w/Reservoir # 980-02-034

These Fox Racing Shox Part # 980-02-034 features an hose mounted reservoir to allow for extended off-road use without fading. A shock absorber that builds up to much heat will not function properly. As the shock absorber is exposed to excessive 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 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!

Features:
* Special Smooth-Bore seamless alloy steel body
* A high-flow, large bore, damping piston and utilizes the highest quality valve shims available
* Nitrogen gas pressurized to 200psi
* Teflon lined steel spherical bearings
* Hard-chrome steel shaft
* Billet aluminum end-caps and eyelets
* Fully rebuildable & revalvable

This Fox 980-02-034 12" travel shock is equipped with a remote reservoir. The shock measures 31" extended and 19.1" fully compressed. All Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks include a rubber isolator and hose clamp to secure the reservoir.

And they look GREAT with the addition of the optional billet reservoir clamps - purchased separately!
