FOX's first air shock was invented by Bob Fox back in 1974 and has been highly refined in the 30-plus years we’ve been producing them. The off-road Performance Elite air shock uses the identical race-proven performance damping technology as our other Performance Elite Series off-road shocks, so servicing and valving adjustments are the same. Incredibly strong yet lightweight hollow shock shafts further reduce weight on these shocks that are ideal for competition rock crawlers.\nRebuildable and serviceable.

Its air-spring design allows the spring rate to be tuned by varying nitrogen charge pressure, giving builders and drivers greater flexibility for suspension setup and terrain-specific tuning. This shock uses the same proven damping technology found throughout the FOX Performance Elite off-road series, allowing consistent servicing and valving procedures across compatible FOX shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart Number FOX981-20-050 features a 12-inch travel design, a 1-1\/4-inch shaft, and normal 40\/90 valving. A strong yet lightweight hollow shaft helps reduce unsprung weight, while the seamless alloy body is zinc plated and protected by a clear coating for lasting durability. Black-anodized, CNC-machined aluminum components provide precise construction, and the hard-chrome-plated 4130 chromoly steel shaft is built to withstand demanding off-road use.
