The FOX 1.5 Podium RC2 Utility Shock is a high-performance, fully rebuildable and serviceable suspension component designed for select Polaris ATV applications. Manufacturer part number 831-27-118 and vendor part number 831-27-118 identify this application-specific shock, which combines advanced damping control with durable construction for demanding utility, trail, and performance riding.
Featuring a Kashima-coated 6061-T6 aluminum body, hard-chromed shaft, and anodized internal floating piston and bearing housing, this FOX shock is engineered for smooth operation and long-term durability. Its high-flow velocity-sensitive damping system, precision-manufactured damping pistons, and high- and low-speed compression adjuster provide a broad range of tuning options. A custom spring rate is selected according to rider weight and riding category, while position-sensitive damping adds comfort near the end of travel where application-specific valving allows.
The shock includes aerospace-grade PTFE-lined spherical bearings, forged 6061-T6 aluminum body caps and eyelets, a durable bottom-out bumper, lightweight race spring, and remote oil reservoir. A redesigned swivel hose improves oil flow and simplifies installation. The FOX 1.5 Podium RC2 is built for riders seeking consistent damping, improved control, and serviceable performance in challenging ATV conditions.
