Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 985-26-101 is a Fox 2.0 Factory Series smooth body reservoir shock with a CD adjuster. It measures 27.30 in. extended and 16.20 in. collapsed, for 11.10 in. of stroke. No vehicle is named, so check compatible applications before choosing it.
Choosing a shock setup
A reservoir shock keeps its fluid and gas in a separate tube from the main body, which helps it resist heat build-up on long descents and rough trails. Shocks like this are usually replaced in pairs so both sides of an axle respond the same way. When choosing a setup, consider how the shock’s length and stroke will match your suspension’s travel and mounting points, since those dimensions decide whether the shock can fully extend and compress without binding.
Damping adjusters change how firmly the shock controls movement, so a setting that feels right on pavement may feel harsh or loose on a trail. Start with the middle of the range and adjust in small steps after a few drives. Wear on shock bushings, leaking fluid, or a clunk at full extension are signs the shock is due for inspection. Bushings and mounting hardware are often checked at the same time, so look over those parts before reinstalling.
- Inspect the body for oil seepage
- Check bushings and mounting hardware for wear
- Keep the adjuster set the same on both sides
