Improve XT8 Handling with Hardcoated Aluminum Bodies

When refurbishing an XRAY XT8, the 358229 Aluminum Rear Big Bore Shock Body is a practical replacement. Fabricated from 7075 T6 aluminium, these bodies focus on steady operation and longevity. Their 18.5mm outer and 15.3mm inner diameters promote predictable oil flow and piston movement for consistent damping.

Why Choose the XRAY 358229 Shock Body

  • Material: 7075 T6 aluminium for dependable strength without excess weight
  • Finish: Hardcoated exterior to resist abrasion and improve service life
  • Design: External threading with an adjustable collar for accurate downstop setup
  • Compatibility: Matches older XT Series parts and big bore configurations

Manufacture Quality and Coating Process

These parts are machined on fully automatic German CNC machines to ensure tight dimensional control. The hardcoat process is applied at XRAY's in-house facility, delivering a consistent finish built to withstand repeated track use.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Can I swap these into a standard XT8 rebuild kit?

They are intended for older XT Series rear shock setups and will typically fit as a direct swap during a rebuild of those models.

Do these bodies need different pistons to standard bodies?

The 15.3mm inner bore aligns with common big bore piston dimensions, but confirm piston thickness and hole size before final assembly to avoid binding.

How do I protect the thread and collar from grit?

Regular cleaning after running and light lubrication of threads will reduce grit buildup. The hardcoat helps protect surfaces but routine maintenance is still recommended.

Is the hardcoating performed by XRAY reliable?

Yes, the hardcoating is applied at XRAY's in-house facility under controlled conditions to ensure a durable, even finish suited to competition and club use.
