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 infinite spring-rate adjustment by varying nitrogen charge pressure, helping drivers fine-tune suspension performance for terrain, vehicle setup, and driving conditions. FOX Performance Elite shocks use race-proven damping technology shared across the Performance Elite Series, allowing consistent servicing and valving adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart number FOX981-25-051 features normal 40\/80 valving, a 12-inch shock configuration, and a lightweight 1-5\/8-inch hollow shaft. The durable seamless alloy body is clear coated and zinc plated for added corrosion resistance, while black-anodized CNC-machined aluminum components help reduce weight without sacrificing strength.
