FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Front Shocks for Polaris RZR XP
Product Description
The FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks for Polaris RZR XP deliver race-proven suspension performance with exceptional adjustability and durability. Designed as a direct bolt-on suspension upgrade, these shocks dramatically improve ride quality, traction, and control across aggressive 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 gives riders precise control over suspension performance depending on terrain conditions, vehicle load, and driving style.
The 2.5-inch aluminum shock bodies increase internal oil volume and improve heat dissipation, allowing the shocks to maintain consistent damping performance during aggressive driving. FOX’s race-developed high-flow damping pistons provide improved suspension response and small bump compliance while maintaining support during larger impacts.
A piggyback reservoir increases oil capacity and houses an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) that separates nitrogen from shock oil. This design prevents aeration and ensures reliable suspension performance during extended rides across rough terrain.
With wide-range rebound adjustment and adjustable spring preload, drivers can fine-tune traction, ride height, and suspension response to match their riding style and terrain conditions.
FOX Performance Elite shocks are engineered for serious off-road enthusiasts who demand superior suspension performance and long-term durability.
