FOX

Fox Shocks, Fork Cartridges and Suspension Kits

Fox listings are easy to sort once you notice the part numbers: in our catalog the 885 series is side-by-side shocks, 897 is Harley-Davidson rear shocks, 890 is fork cartridge kits, 853 and 850 are snowmobile track and ski shocks, and 803 is shim kits and small parts. We list about 230 Fox products (titled "FOX" or "Fox Racing Shox"), all of them suspension. The main shelves are UTV | ATV Steering & Suspension, Motorcycle Suspension & Handling and Snowmobile Shocks & Suspension.

In a 2013 Pinkbike interview, Bob Fox says he produced his first shock designs in 1974, drawing on air-spring shocks he had seen on Honda factory bikes and CZ motorcycles, and began production of the first Fox Airshox in 1975.

Side-by-side and ATV shocks

UTV shocks. The deepest group, about 65 listings in Shocks & Coil Overs and the main suspension category, named by series and sold front or rear and by 2-seat or 4-seat. They include the 2.0 QS3 front shock for the Honda Pioneer 1000, the 2.0 QS3 front for the Can-Am Maverick Trail, the 2.5 Podium RC2 front for the Polaris RZR XP 1000 and the IBP Factory Series 3.0 rear for the Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000. Polaris is the biggest fitment, with Can-Am, Honda and Kawasaki behind it. Quick Switch electric links, such as the front pair for the Polaris Pro R, sit in Sway Bars, Links & Bushings.

Quad shocks. About 19 listings for sport quads and utility ATVs: Float 3 and Float 3 EVOL RC2 kits for the YFZ450R, Raptor and TRX models, Podium single-spring shocks for the Yamaha Raptor 700R and the 1.5 Podium RC2 utility shocks for the Can-Am Outlander.

Harley-Davidson shocks and fork kits

Rear shocks. About 37 listings in Shocks & Coil Overs, sold by length and model: the Monotube XL 12-inch for Sportster, the IFP-QSR 13.5-inch for Dyna, the preload-adjustable 12-inch for Touring and the QS3-QSR remote-reservoir shocks.

Fork cartridge kits. Fifteen listings in Fork Suspension Parts, in 41 mm, 47 mm and 49 mm sizes, with Standard, HD, Dual Adjust and GRIP ST versions, such as the 49 mm kit for 2014-2022 Electra Glide, the M8 Softail kit and the Indian Scout cartridge.

Snowmobile shocks

About 45 listings in Snowmobile Shocks & Suspension for Polaris and Ski-Doo. They are named by series and position: Float 3, EVOL and 1.5 Zero, with QS3, QSE and IQS adjusters. Examples are the Float 3 QS3 and EVOL QSE kit for the Polaris Patriot Boost RMK, the IQS kit for the Ski-Doo Summit X and the Polaris Switchback track kit.

Shims, upgrade kits and tools

Thirty-eight shock shim kits are listed in two groups, 20 for IFP/piggyback shocks and 18 for Float Airshox, sold by thickness and diameter, such as the IFP/Piggyback kit and the Float Airshox kit. Also here are the Podium shock upgrade kit, shock spanner wrenches, the digital shock pump and suspension oil.

Matching a Fox part

Front or rear, seat count and model years are in the title, and many Harley and snowmobile listings name only the model line, so read the whole title before ordering.

Fox questions

Are Fox shocks sold as pairs? It varies. Some quad titles say pair, many UTV listings are a single front or rear shock, so check the title.

Do you list Fox for snowmobiles? Yes, Polaris and Ski-Doo track, ski and IQS kits.

Which shim kit do I need? Match the shock type in the title, IFP/Piggyback or Float Airshox, then the thickness and diameter.
