Are piggyback shocks worth it?
Nitrogen has a lower expansion rate which is why it is used in rear shocks. In addition because of the greater oil volume in the piggyback shock more heat energy can be absorbed for relatively smaller amount of viscosity reduction. Basically more oil means it stays thicker and more capable of doing it’s job for longer.
Can you add reservoir to Fox shocks?
Bear Foot said: Dose anyone in the Underground, know if a remote reservoir, can be added to a Fox 2.0 air shock? On an emulsion shock, absolutely.
Are Fox 2.0 shocks worth it?
The aluminum body of the Fox 2.0 shocks provide a couple different benefits; lighter overall weight, and more importantly, better heat dissipation. The longer a shock can remain cool, or shed heat, the better performance it provides due to less cavitation of shock fluid inside the shock.
What are Fox reservoir shocks?
Fox’s 2.0 Performance Series Reservoir Shocks are manufactured with a 6061-T6 aluminum body for extreme strength and to dissipate heat faster than a standard steel body shock. The Shock bodies are completed in durable clear anodized finish for superior corrosion resistance.
What is a DSC adjuster?
The Dual Speed Compression (DSC) adjuster provides added control and comfort tuning for on-road use while also offering more aggressive damping for use off-road.
How long will Fox 2.0 shocks last?
Fox recommends having them rebuilt every 50,000 miles (or 80,467 kms) for street use and every 10,000 miles (or 16,093kms) for a 50/50 mix of street and off road use. That means these could be the last shocks you ever buy for your rig!
Do I need reservoir shocks?
Less pressure buildup with less wear leads to longer life – buy reservoir shocks if you want an upgraded suspension for life. Increased travel as there is more space for oil/gas when compared to a regular monotube.
How good are Fox shocks?
FOX Jeep shocks are made of aluminum because 6061 aluminum’s thermal conductivity value is over four times that of low carbon steel. This means that aluminum FOX shocks are able to cool much better than painted steel shocks, and they are extremely resistant to rust.
