Tough Dog’s award winning Foam Cell shock is our best selling shock for all round performance. Whether you head bush on the occasional weekend or for the majority of the year, Foam Cell shocks will handle your application.
The ‘Foam Cell’ that makes all the difference is a
micro-cellular foam insert that helps to drastically reduce the effects
of shock fade, allowing your shocks to perform better for longer, even
on the harshest of corrugations. Cavitation and Aeration are the undoing
of any shock absorber. As the shock is worked harder, the oil and gas
in the outer chamber begins to mix and form bubbles, lowering the
viscosity of the oil. When this aerated oil passes through the valve,
there is reduced resistance, stopping the shock form performing
correctly. The Foam Cell insert, with its trapped gas micro cells takes
up the empty space in the shock normally taken up by air or nitrogen
gas. This eliminates the possibility of bubbles forming, allowing the
shock to get on with the job with an unparalleled resistance to shock
fade.
