Carli Suspension As-Flvlspkg-Cs25rr-A Shock Absorber

The Carli SPEC 2-1/2 Inch - Nestled between the Backcountry and Pintop, the Pathfinder system is built for those prioritizing on-road comfort and off-road confidence. Akin to a Backcountry on pavement and only slightly off-pace the Pintop’s dirt performance, the Pathfinder removes all strain from your daily drive, while inspiring you to venture beyond the tarmac. This system delivers a controlled and predictable ride for light to moderate off-road use, though it won’t stay as composed as the Pintop over aggressive, high-speed terrain. On the road, however, the Pathfinder stands out. Small and medium imperfections are absorbed with ease, creating a supple, comfortable ride that doesn’t require an aggressive driving style to feel its benefits. It’s the perfect choice for those who value daily comfort, but want their suspension to come alive when venturing off the pavement. The shock body is a 1-piece, impact extruded 6061 aluminum cylinder. The aluminum boasts better heat dissipation than steel, and 1-peice means there’s no top cap interface as a potential point of failure. The cylinders are anodized for corrosion resistance and finish durability – this aesthetic will stand the test of time. The 7/8 Inch shafts are a hardened 100ksi, chrome plated steel. These shocks are specified with a premium 5WT red oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation. The stem-top bushings are something we are excited about. In our vast experience with shocks, we have become bushing snobs. In an industry obsessed with poly bushings, we have always measured against our benchmark – the original rubber Bilstein bushings. In an eyelet style, poly is fantastic – in a stem-top, we have not met a poly bushing we preferred to tried and true rubber. Elated may be an exaggeration but we eat, sleep and breath shocks – to eliminate such a frequent point of failure is exciting.
