Common questions
What's the benefit of the heavy-duty spring rate?
The heavy-duty spring rate is designed for riders over 240 lbs, or those who frequently ride with a passenger or heavy luggage, ensuring proper sag and optimal suspension performance under heavier loads.
Are these shocks adjustable?
Yes, these FOX IFP shocks feature hand-adjustable spring preload, allowing you to fine-tune the ride to your preference and compensate for varying loads.
Will these change my bike's ride height?
These are 12-inch shocks, which may result in a slightly lowered stance compared to some stock 13-inch setups. Always confirm your current shock length and desired ride height before ordering.
