King RS3016-BP5P 3.0 Race 5-Tube Bypass Shock with Piggyback Reservoir 16" Travel

The King RS3016-BP5P is a high-performance 3.0-inch race bypass shock engineered for extreme off-road competition and demanding desert racing applications. This shock features five external bypass tubes with piggyback reservoir design, delivering 16 inches of travel for maximum suspension articulation and control in the harshest terrain.

Key Features:

• 3.0-inch diameter shock body constructed from precision-honed, cadmium-plated steel tubing
• Five external bypass tubes (5-tube configuration) with large 3/4-inch bypass tube diameter for superior flow control
• Piggyback reservoir design aids in maintaining consistent shock performance and reducing oil temperatures
• 1-inch diameter hardened and chrome-plated shaft for exceptional strength and durability
• 16 inches of travel for long-travel suspension systems
• Position-sensitive damping provides independent control at different points in the stroke
• Each bypass stage is separately adjustable for precise tuning of compression and rebound
• 6061 aluminum alloy piston with precision-machined valve design
• Bypass ports are CNC-machined, hand-deburred, and polished for consistent flow characteristics
• 17-4 stainless steel bypass valve springs resist heat-induced fade at extreme temperatures
• Fully rebuildable and serviceable with standard hand tools

King's bypass shock technology represents decades of refinement in race shock engineering, providing configuration-specific designs to ensure complete control of high-speed and low-speed oscillations through position-sensitive damping. The shock body is honed after plating to maintain tight tolerances of +/- 0.001 inches, ensuring a precise piston seal and consistent damping performance. Built in the USA to the highest quality standards, King shocks are proven in the world's toughest races including the Baja 1000 and Dakar Rally.
