Fox 2.5 Factory Series 16-inch Air Shock with 1-5/8-inch Shaft – Black

FOX devotes countless hours of research and development to design race-winning suspension that withstands incredible punishment and provides consistent performance you can rely on. Regardless of whether you are flying high over the desert or struggling to stick to a rock face on an off-camber climb, our shocks will give you the damping performance, suspension control and proper spring rate to get the job done. Rebuildable and serviceable. Custom valving options available. In 1974, Bob Fox invented the first FOX Airshox for professional motocross racing. Air shock design allows for infinite adjustability of spring rate simply by varying nitrogen pressure. Incredibly strong hollow chromoly shafts also deliver reduced weight, making them ideal for competition rock crawlers.

The Fox 2.5 Factory Series 16-inch Air Shock (Part Number: 980-02-243) is engineered for high-performance off-road applications, providing exceptional damping and suspension control in demanding environments. Designed with a 1-5/8-inch diameter shaft, this shock is built to withstand tough conditions, whether you’re navigating rocky trails or high-speed desert terrain. Its aluminum body dissipates heat efficiently, ensuring consistent performance even during extended use, while the durable zinc-plated alloy construction offers added protection against corrosion. The black anodized CNC-machined components not only enhance durability but also contribute to a sleek, professional look.
The Fox Factory Series shocks feature a rebuildable and serviceable design, allowing for custom valving options tailored to specific vehicle needs. The air shock design provides infinite adjustability of spring rate through nitrogen pressure variation, offering precise tuning for optimal vehicle handling and ride comfort. The large, heavy-duty 5/8-inch chromoly shaft with hard chrome plating ensures longevity and resistance to wear, making it suitable for both aggressive off-road driving and competitive rock crawling.
Built with proprietary Fox Racing Oil, these shocks deliver unmatched performance by providing stable damping and improved articulation. The hourglass bushings increase articulation, enhancing wheel movement and suspension flexibility. Additionally, the IFP (Internal Floating Piston) system separates oil from high-pressure nitrogen gas, maintaining consistent damping and reducing fade over time. Whether you’re upgrading your vehicle for off-road adventures or competitive racing, these shocks are backed by over 35 years of race-winning technology, ensuring you get reliable performance when it matters most.
