Radflo 3.0 Bypass Shock w/ Piggyback Reservoir – 1” Shaft, 3-Tube
7BP-301-00
The Radflo 3.0 Bypass Shock with Piggyback Reservoir (3-Tube) combines position-sensitive external bypass tuning with velocity sensitive internal valving, delivering true dual-stage performance in a single shock package.
Softer damping during initial travel maintains comfort and traction, while firmer damping near the end of stroke resists harsh bottom-outs at speed. The 3-tube external bypass system allows precise adjustment of compression, rebound, and bleed characteristics at specific points in the travel, giving you race level control over how the suspension reacts in real terrain.
At the core is Radflo’s exclusive Freeflo® Racing Piston, which uses adaptive damping technology to automatically match shock performance to surface conditions. Combined with a 1 Nitro Steel® shaft, CNC machined bronze rod guide, and a multi-direction sealing system, this shock is engineered to survive extreme abuse while remaining fully serviceable and tunable.
Includes:
- Radflo 3.0 Bypass Shock with Piggyback Reservoir
- 3 External Bypass Tubes
- Universal spherical bearings and mounting hardware
Availability Note: As the #1 Stocking Warehouse for Radflo, we maintain the largest on-shelf inventory of shocks in the industry. While we keep the most popular lengths ready for immediate shipment, the high demand for specialized sizes can occasionally result in a lead time on shocks that get ordered.
We are committed to getting your rig on the trail as fast as possible. If your build schedule is critical, please call us to confirm real-time inventory before placing your order.

Tech Insight
Bypass shocks are the pinnacle of off-road damping because they blend position-sensitive control with velocity-sensitive response. External bypass tubes manage oil flow at specific points in the stroke, while internal valving reacts instantly to impact speed. The result is unmatched control across crawling, high-speed desert runs, and hard landings.
Radflo’s Freeflo® piston adapts automatically to terrain changes, while externally adjustable bypass tubes give builders and racers precise control over compression and rebound zones—without compromise.
