What makes the Gas-Magnum different?
A larger bore and 2-in. reserve tube hold more oil, and a nitrogen gas-charge reduces aeration and shock fade to help maintain tire-to-road contact for firm control without a harsh ride.
What are signs this shock may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing, poor ride control or reduced handling can be signs a shock is worn. Diagnose the cause first, and replace front shocks in pairs for balanced ride control.
