Lakeville, MN [December 19, 2012] – QA1 is excited to release three brand new monotube shock absorbers to its lineup of circle track products for 2013.

The 16 Series features a hard anodized, 6061 aluminum threaded body for excellent corrosion resistance and superior hardness, making this shock a top performer for years. Designed for a variety of series, including late models and crate late models, the 16 Series also features linear and digressive valving options and a Schrader Valve to easily adjust gas pressure "on the fly" for varying track conditions.

QA1’s new 20 Series shock absorber is perfect for racers that need a sealed shock.  This 2 inch outside diameter sealed monotube has a precision machined bearing mount, providing ample clearance and increased strength over other designs.  Every 20 Series shock is built in QA1’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Lakeville, MN.

The new 23 Series features a precision machined bearing mount and can be custom valved at QA1’s Minnesota facility.  The 23 Series is packaged in a sealed stock mount configuration and gives racers the great benefit of the larger 46 mm piston for increased car control, while also featuring precision valving that holds tighter tolerances than other brands on the market.
