About FOX

FOX has built performance suspension for off-road racing, mountain bikes and powersports since 1974. Its motorcycle shocks bring race-derived damping architecture and rebuild-ability to street and touring applications.

FOX IFP gas-charged mono-tube shocks deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality and control for Harley-Davidson Touring models. These 12-inch shocks feature an internal floating piston design, ensuring consistent damping performance across varying road conditions.

Why riders pick this

  • Gas-charged mono-tube design for consistent damping
  • Internal floating piston prevents cavitation and fade
  • Hand-adjustable spring preload for easy tuning
  • Three spring rate options to match rider weight
  • Durable construction with rebuildable components

Designed for the demanding rider, these FOX IFP shocks transform your Harley Touring's handling. The gas-charged mono-tube design with an internal floating piston prevents oil cavitation, providing consistent, fade-free damping even during aggressive riding or long hauls. With options for spring rates tailored to rider weight, you can dial in your suspension for optimal comfort and performance, whether you're cruising solo or loaded down for a trip.

Precision Engineering for Your Bagger

  • Gas-charged mono-tube design with internal floating piston for consistent damping
  • Durable 6061-T6 aluminum body with Type III hard anodizing
  • Advanced high-flow, deflective disk, velocity-sensitive damping for superior control
  • Hand-adjustable spring preload allows for quick tuning to rider and load
  • Fully serviceable and rebuildable for long-term performance

Tune Your Ride for the Road Ahead

The FOX IFP shocks are more than just a replacement; they're a performance upgrade. With three distinct spring rate options (standard, heavy duty, and super heavy duty), you can precisely match the shocks to your riding style and anticipated load, including Tri-Glide models. This attention to detail ensures your Harley Touring bike handles bumps and corners with newfound confidence, making every mile more enjoyable. For optimal performance, consider having these installed by a professional.

You won’t be sorry!

I’ve always heard that suspension upgrades are the best money you can spend on a motorcycle, particularly on a Harley. This is the first bike that I’ve actually done it, and they were right. Immediately the motorcycle rode smoother, was more stable in sweepers, and the suspension eats up the things that used to launch me almost out of the saddle. Not as “showy” as other things you can spend your money on, but you won’t be sorry. 100% improvement over stock Harley suspension!

Bought these for my 21 Road Glide. Definitely a huge improvement from stock. Coming from a Legend Revo A, the ride quality from these fox shocks compared to legends is pretty far apart and reflects the $400.00 price difference. Still worth the money though as it is a very comfortable ride.

Do yourself a favor. Now.

Man, what a difference. 2019 FLHXSE with the same crappy shocks as my ‘15 FLTRX. Went an inch longer than stock. No more eyeball shakes going over some mild washboard and no spitting out dental fillings. No more hard bottoming-out and if you somehow manage to, the snubber is twice as thick as OEM. Easy to mount. No issues and no negatives. Glad I did it and you will be, too. An excellent and very competent shock. No goofy look-at-me reservoirs sticking out like a mechanical tumor. They just plain work and work well.

Perfect

Perfect, replaced the stock suspension, easy to bolt on and setup. Exactly what I expected, great feel of the road. The bike feels planted, way better then stock.

Took my 20th century bike into the 20th century.

The stock Harley shocks just plain suck. (2021 Street Glide Special)<br />Got tired of getting beat to death, upgraded the front fork cartridges (and new oil 15wt) and rear shocks to Fox on both ends. I am 270 and typically ride solo, went with the heavy-duty spring set-up on both ends then just tuned them on the light side from what was suggested.
