Refine XT8 Handling with Big Bore Front Shocks

Upgrade your XT8 with the XRAY 358108 Big Bore Front Shock Absorber Set for steadier front-end control and increased suspension movement. The kit is aimed at drivers who want more predictable handling on both race circuits and rougher terrain.

Engineered Finish and Piston Choices

CNC-machined, hard-anodized aluminium parts provide a low-friction environment inside the shock body for reliable piston travel. Three piston sizes 1.3mm, 1.4mm and 1.5mm are supplied so you can adjust rebound and compression to suit circuit grip or muddy conditions.

Corrosion Resistant Build for Longevity

The shocks use a specially hardened 3.5mm steel shaft for steady action and impact resistance. Aluminium caps, short rubber boots and a dense foam protector reduce ingress of grit and moisture, helping maintain function and reduce corrosion risk over time.

Will these shocks improve lap times?

They can improve front-end stability and feedback, which helps reduce understeer and can lead to more consistent lap times when properly tuned.

How often should I refresh the oil?

Change the shock oil after intense sessions or if you notice inconsistent damping; regular intervals depend on use but inspecting seals and oil every few outings is a good rule.

Are these suitable for wet or muddy tracks?

Yes, the short boots and foam protector reduce mud ingress, but regular cleaning and lubrication will keep them operating well in wet conditions.

Can I tune these for road circuits as well as off-road?

Absolutely, swapping pistons and adjusting oil weight will let you tailor damping for smooth circuits or rougher courses without hardware changes.
