Fox Racing Shox Fox 2.0 Performance Series Smooth Body Reservoir Shock – 985-24-101

Overview

The Fox Racing Shox 2.0 Performance Series Smooth Body Reservoir Shock, part number 985-24-101, is a reservoir shock with a metal-impacted aluminum body and an internal floating piston. It measures 27.30 in. extended, 16.20 in. collapsed and 11.10 in. stroke, and it bolts in as a direct fit replacement.

The internal floating piston keeps shock oil apart from a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber, which supports a consistent ride on rough roads. The aluminum body sheds heat faster than conventional steel.

Key features

• Smooth body reservoir design
• Metal-impacted aluminum body that dissipates heat faster than steel
• Internal floating piston separating shock oil from nitrogen gas
• Extended length 27.30 in. and collapsed length 16.20 in.
• Stroke of 11.10 in.
• Direct fit bolt-on design

Gas-charged shock handling

Gas-charged shocks hold nitrogen under high pressure, which helps the damper resist fade and keeps the oil from foaming during repeated compression. Because the gas is pressurized, treat the shock as a sealed component and avoid cutting, heating or drilling the body. Store it upright and keep it away from open flame.

Floating piston designs are easy to inspect: look for oil seepage around the shaft seal, scoring on the shaft, and any dents in the body that could cause seal leakage. A shock that feels soft, makes knocking noises, or leaks oil is worn and should be replaced. Replacing shocks in pairs on the same axle keeps the ride even from side to side. Cleaning the shaft after off-road runs helps protect the seal.
