FOX 2.5 Podium RC2 Rear Shocks for Polaris RZR XP 1000
Product Description
The FOX 2.5 Podium RC2 rear shocks for Polaris RZR XP 1000 deliver race-proven suspension performance with precise adjustability and superior durability. Built on FOX’s proven 2.5-inch shock platform, these coilover shocks are engineered to improve handling, increase traction, and provide exceptional bottom-out resistance for aggressive off-road driving.
FOX RC2 shocks feature Dual-Speed Compression (DSC) adjustment, allowing independent tuning of high-speed and low-speed compression damping. This lets drivers dial in suspension performance to match terrain conditions, vehicle load, and driving style.
Wide-range rebound adjustment allows you to fine-tune suspension response and maximize tire contact with the ground, improving traction and control through corners and rough terrain.
The piggyback reservoir increases oil capacity and helps maintain cooler operating temperatures during aggressive riding. This ensures consistent damping performance even during extended high-speed runs through whoops, desert terrain, and rough trails.
FOX also designed these shocks with dual-stage springs and adjustable crossover rings, providing a smooth ride during initial suspension travel while delivering additional support deeper in the stroke for absorbing large impacts and hard landings.
A bottom-out cup system engages a secondary piston near the end of suspension travel, dramatically increasing compression damping during the final portion of travel to prevent harsh bottom-outs.
Finished with Kashima-coated aluminum shock bodies, these RC2 shocks reduce friction and improve durability while delivering smooth suspension performance in the most demanding environments.
