Performance and Benefits
The Fox 2.0 Performance Elite Coilover Shock excels in delivering balanced performance for both on-road comfort and off-road capability. Its remote reservoir design reduces oil temperature and cavitation, providing consistent damping during high-speed off-road runs or prolonged trail use. The high-flow piston ensures smoother handling over bumps, potholes, and rough terrain, while the tunable valving allows for customization to match your vehicle’s weight and driving style. Compared to emulsion shocks, the remote reservoir enhances heat dissipation, reduces friction, and improves durability, making it a reliable choice for aggressive off-road conditions.
Installation and Tuning
- Installation: Bolt-on design for most applications, reusing factory shock mounts where applicable. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and tuning. May require minor modifications for reservoir mounting on certain vehicles.
Why This Shock Stands Out
Unlike standard shocks, the Fox 2.0 Performance Elite series incorporates race-proven technology tailored for real-world applications. Its robust construction, including a 5/8-inch shaft and Viton seals, ensures longevity in harsh environments. The remote reservoir design offers greater oil capacity and better heat management than non-reservoir shocks, providing a smoother ride and extended performance during intense off-road use. This coilover shock is fully rebuildable and serviceable, allowing for long-term use and maintenance, making it a cost-effective investment for enthusiasts.
Order with Confidence
The Fox 2.0 Performance Elite 10-Inch Remote Reservoir Smooth Body Coilover Shock (SKU: 981-20-004) is backed by Fox’s legacy of quality and performance, trusted by off-road racers and enthusiasts worldwide.
Note: Always confirm vehicle compatibility and specifications with your retailer or Fox’s official fitment guide before purchasing. Springs and additional mounting hardware may be required for complete installation.
