Remote Reservoir Bypass Shock Comparison
| Shock Type | Applications | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Radflo 2.5 Bypass Shock w/ Remote Reservoir – 3 Tube | Rock crawlers, Jeep builds, trail rigs, dune buggies, Sand Rails, overland builds, expedition vehicles, Ultra4 cars, mud trucks, off-road vehicles | Excellent balance of ride quality and tuning capability, improved traction, increased bottom-out control, ideal for recreational and competition off-road vehicles that need more control than a standard coilover |
| Radflo 2.5 Bypass Shock w/ Remote Reservoir – 4 Tube | Rock bouncers, Ultra4 race cars, desert racing vehicles, mud trucks, Sand Rails, dune buggies, competition crawlers, high-performance off-road vehicles | Additional tuning zones compared to a 3-tube bypass, greater suspension adjustability, improved high-speed control, better bottom-out resistance, excellent for aggressive driving and racing applications |
| Radflo 3.0 Bypass Shock w/ Remote Reservoir – 3 Tube | Mega trucks, rock bouncers, Ultra4 race cars, desert racing vehicles, mud racing trucks, long-travel suspension systems, high-horsepower buggies, extreme off-road vehicles | Massive damping capacity, superior impact absorption, exceptional heat management, increased fluid volume, race-level suspension performance, designed for large tires, heavy vehicles, and the most demanding off-road environments |
What Are Bypass Shocks & How Do They Work?
Radflo Remote Reservoir Bypass Shocks are built for serious off-road suspension systems where maximum control, heat management, and tunability are critical. Unlike conventional shock absorbers, an adjustable bypass shock uses both internal valving and external bypass tubes to control suspension movement at different points throughout the travel cycle. This allows builders to fine tune ride quality, body control, bottom-out resistance, and traction for everything from technical rock crawling to high-speed desert racing. The remote reservoir design increases fluid capacity and cooling efficiency, helping maintain consistent damping performance during long trail rides, race conditions, and extreme off-road abuse.
These performance suspension shocks are commonly found on Ultra4 cars, rock bouncer suspension systems, prerunners, desert racing trucks, trail buggies, and custom long travel suspension builds. Available in multiple travel lengths and configurations, Radflo remote reservoir bypass shocks provide the tuning flexibility needed to optimize off-road suspension performance for virtually any terrain. Whether you're building a dedicated off-road racing shock package or upgrading a rock crawler suspension system, these remote reservoir bypass shocks deliver the control, durability, and serviceability demanded by serious off-road enthusiasts.
