FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Front Shocks for Polaris General & RZR
Product Description
The FOX 2.5 Performance Elite front shocks for Polaris General and RZR S models deliver race-inspired suspension performance with advanced adjustability and exceptional durability. Designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, these shocks dramatically improve ride quality, stability, and traction across rough off-road terrain.
FOX Performance Elite shocks feature Dual-Speed Compression (DSC) adjustment, allowing drivers to independently tune both high-speed and low-speed compression damping. This provides precise control over suspension behavior depending on terrain conditions, vehicle load, and driving style.
The 2.5-inch aluminum shock bodies increase internal oil volume while improving heat dissipation, helping maintain consistent damping performance during aggressive riding. FOX’s race-developed high-flow damping pistons deliver improved small bump compliance while maintaining strong bottom-out resistance during large impacts.
A piggyback reservoir increases oil capacity and houses an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) that separates nitrogen from shock oil. This prevents aeration and ensures consistent damping performance during extended off-road driving.
FOX also incorporates Bottom-Out Control (BOC) technology, increasing compression damping during the final portion of shock travel to protect the suspension during hard hits while maintaining comfort during normal riding.
With wide-range rebound adjustment and adjustable spring preload, drivers can dial in traction, ride height, and suspension response for maximum off-road performance.
FOX Performance Elite shocks are engineered for riders who want race-level suspension performance with maximum durability and tuning capability.
