Frequently Asked Questions
What spring rate should I choose?
Standard rate fits riders up to 240 lbs. Heavy duty for 240–370 lbs. Super heavy duty for 370+ lbs and Tri-Glide models.
Can I adjust the rebound?
This standard model does not have rebound adjustment. FOX also offers an IFP-QSR version with 3-position adjustable rebound for fine-tuning.
Are these shocks rebuildable?
Yes — these shocks are fully serviceable and rebuildable by FOX or authorized suspension shops.
What's the difference between the 12" and 13" versions?
The 12" provides a lowered ride height, while the 13" is standard. Both use the same damping and spring-rate options.
Does this require any modifications to my Touring?
No — these are direct replacements for stock Touring shocks and bolt in without frame modifications.
