It is engineered to work with FOX's internal bypass technology, which allows oil to flow around the piston at certain points of the stroke while building pressure at others, delivering the feel of nearly endless suspension travel. Paired with FOX's Ride Zone technology, a race-developed shock piston, and Dual Speed Compression adjustment, this stem helps you fine-tune your suspension for weight, terrain, and speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.610 inch extended length, 7.580 inch compressed length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with FOX internal bypass shock technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with FOX Ride Zone tuning for weight, terrain, and speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem-style mount for bypass and air bump stop applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt with the same durability standards as FOX's 3 inch and 2.5 inch aluminum body shocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedundant seal design proven in harsh off-road environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFOX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e981-20-044\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFOX981-20-044\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published by manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtended Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.610 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompressed Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.580 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTravel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.03 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer limited warranty against defects\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x FOX 2.0 Factory Series stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout FOX\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFOX Factory has engineered high-performance suspension components for off-road, racing, and powersports applications for decades.
