The Rancho RS5000X series rear shock (MPN: RS55245) utilizes Cross Tuned technology to deliver a precision valving system that optimizes performance both on and off-road. Engineered with Progressive Engagement Valving, these shocks provide a custom-tuned response to changing terrain, effectively reducing initial impacts at low speeds while maintaining control during aggressive maneuvers. The twin-tube body is filled with all-weather fluid, allowing the unit to maintain consistent damping in extreme environments ranging from -40 to 248°F.

• Durability: Features a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod for superior scuff and corrosion resistance, plus double-welded loops at critical stress points.
• Internal Construction: 35mm sintered iron piston and fluon-banded seal for enhanced structural integrity and responsiveness.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize oil foaming and prevent damping fade under heavy use.
• Protection: Includes a polyvinyl protective boot to shield the rod and oil seal from trail debris.
• Ride Quality: Polyurethane rebound bumpers and rubber bushings help absorb harsh road vibrations and noise.
