FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Rear Shocks for Polaris RZR XP 1000
Product Description
The FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks for Polaris RZR XP 1000 deliver race-inspired suspension performance with exceptional durability and advanced adjustability. Designed as a direct bolt-on suspension upgrade, these shocks improve ride quality, traction, and stability across aggressive off-road terrain.
FOX Performance Elite shocks feature Dual-Speed Compression (DSC) adjustment, allowing drivers to independently tune high-speed and low-speed compression damping. This provides precise suspension tuning to match terrain conditions, vehicle load, and driving style.
The 2.5-inch aluminum shock bodies increase oil capacity and improve heat dissipation, allowing the suspension to maintain consistent damping performance during high-speed driving and rough terrain. FOX’s race-developed high-flow damping pistons provide improved small bump compliance while maintaining support during larger impacts.
The piggyback reservoir increases oil capacity and houses an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) that separates nitrogen from shock oil. This prevents oil aeration and ensures consistent damping performance during extended off-road use.
FOX also incorporates Bottom-Out Control (BOC) technology, which increases compression damping during the final portion of shock travel. This provides additional support during hard impacts while maintaining ride comfort during normal suspension movement.
With wide-range rebound adjustment and adjustable spring preload, drivers can fine-tune traction, ride height, and suspension response for maximum performance.
FOX Performance Elite shocks are engineered for serious off-road riders who demand reliable, race-level suspension performance.
