Fox Racing Shocks 980-02-232-1 3.0 Factory Series External Bypass Shock 12 Inch Travel

The Fox Racing Shocks 980-02-232-1 is a high-performance 3.0 Factory Race Series external bypass shock engineered for serious off-road racing and extreme terrain applications. This piggyback reservoir shock features 12 inches of travel with a sophisticated 4-tube bypass configuration that delivers position-sensitive damping control throughout the entire stroke.

Advanced Bypass Technology:

• 2 compression bypass tubes (blue adjusters) and 2 rebound bypass tubes (red adjusters) for independent tuning at different points in the suspension travel
• Position-sensitive design allows precise tuning of each stage of compression and rebound stroke without affecting other stages
• Progressive damping curve eliminates harshness over bumps and whoops while maintaining high-speed control
• Custom valving optimized for demanding off-road conditions

Premium Construction:

• 3.0-inch bore diameter for increased oil volume and superior heat dissipation
• 17-4 H900 stainless steel piston rod provides exceptional strength and resistance to rock damage
• Viton seals deliver low friction, minimal wear, and high temperature performance
• Piggyback reservoir configuration for compact mounting in space-constrained applications
• Proprietary FOX Grey Cerakote protective ceramic coating over zinc-plated basecoat for corrosion resistance

Easy External Adjustment:

• Blue compression adjusters allow fine-tuning of upward compression damping at specific points in the travel
• Red rebound adjusters control downward rebound damping for optimal wheel control and vehicle stability
• No need to disassemble shock for tuning adjustments

This shock is designed for racers and enthusiasts who demand the ultimate in suspension performance and adjustability. The external bypass design provides race-proven damping characteristics that can be fine-tuned for specific terrain, vehicle weight, and driving style.
