Overview

This shock utilizes a monotube high-pressure gas architecture paired with an external reservoir to increase oil volume and reduce thermal stress. The design maintains consistent damping characteristics during extended operation and repeated suspension cycling.

Design

A remote reservoir is connected through a reinforced hose system, allowing flexible routing and optimized placement. The included billet mounting solution secures the reservoir while maintaining a low-profile footprint within the rear suspension area.

Performance

Application-specific digressive valving responds to varying terrain inputs, delivering firm control under load while preserving ride comfort. Increased fluid capacity and cooling efficiency support improved suspension response and stability across uneven terrain.

Durability

Engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to harsh conditions, the shock resists heat-induced fade and maintains performance consistency. Robust construction and corrosion-resistant materials ensure long-term reliability in off-road environments.

Installation

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the rear passenger side, installation integrates with factory mounting locations. Proper reservoir mounting is required to ensure secure placement and optimal performance during operation.
