Description
Part number 985-24-049 is a FOX® 2.0 Performance Series smooth body remote reservoir shock with 5.12 in. of travel, eyelet top and bottom mounts, and an aluminum body construction. This shock is sold individually for application-specific tuning and travel selection.
IMPORTANT: Travel length and valving on this shock are tuned for a specific vehicle application, so confirm the 5.12 in. travel and 16.02 in. extended / 10.9 in. compressed length match your vehicle’s setup before ordering. This shock is sold individually, not as a pair. It is part of a travel-length family that includes 985-24-050 (6.62 in.), 985-24-051 (8.12 in., eyelet ends), 985-24-056 (8.12 in., stem mount), 985-24-052 (10.12 in.), 985-24-054 (12.12 in.), and 985-24-055 (14.1 in.) — double check the travel length against your vehicle’s requirement to avoid ordering the wrong variant.
The FOX 2.0 Performance Series Reservoir shock delivers race-proven damping performance in a bolt-on, aluminum-bodied package. The 2.0 in. impact-extruded 6061-T6 aluminum body is clear-anodized and dissipates heat faster than a conventional steel-body shock, helping maintain consistent damping under sustained off-road use.
An external reservoir increases oil and nitrogen capacity over a standard twin-tube design, improving fade resistance on rough terrain while giving the shock a race-inspired look. The included billet reservoir mounting clamp and other hardware are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodizing.
A race-developed high-flow damping piston is paired with application-specific valving to deliver predictable ride quality across rough road conditions. The shock uses a 5/8 in. hard chrome-plated, heat-treated alloy steel shaft and a redundant sealing pack (main seal, wiper seal, scraper seal) for long service life. FOX backs this shock with a limited lifetime warranty.
