Fox Racing Shocks 981-25-404-L Factory Race 2.5 x 14 External Bypass 3-Tube Piggyback Shock Left

The Fox Racing Shocks 981-25-404-L is a Factory Race Series 2.5" x 14" External Bypass 3-Tube Piggyback Shock (Left) built for serious off-road racing and high-performance applications. Engineered with Fox's patented external bypass architecture, this shock delivers position-sensitive, externally adjustable damping that provides precise suspension control across any terrain — from high-speed desert runs to technical rock crawling.

The external bypass design uses multiple bypass tubes to allow oil to flow around the piston at specific points in the stroke, dramatically reducing harshness in the early stroke while building maximum support at full compression. The piggyback reservoir increases oil and nitrogen capacity, reducing heat buildup and maintaining consistent damping performance under sustained abuse.

Key Features:

• 2.5" smooth bore seamless steel body with proprietary FOX Grey Cerakote® protective ceramic coating over a zinc-plated basecoat for superior corrosion resistance and durability
• 3-tube external bypass configuration for externally adjustable, position-sensitive damping tuning
• 17-4 H900 hard chrome-plated stainless steel shaft with redundant seals for exceptional wear and corrosion resistance
• 6061-T6 hard-anodized billet aluminum CNC-machined components for lightweight strength and precision
• Piggyback reservoir increases oil and nitrogen volume for reduced fade and consistent performance under extreme conditions
• Dual Speed Compression (DSC) adjustment for fine-tuning damping to match weight, terrain, and speed
• Fully rebuildable and serviceable — custom valving options available to match specific vehicle setups
• Left-side orientation — sold individually

Built and validated in the most demanding race environments on the planet, the Fox Factory Race 2.5 External Bypass shock represents the pinnacle of off-road suspension technology. Its rebuildable construction and custom valving capability make it a long-term investment for competitive racers and serious enthusiasts alike.
