Founded in Lodi, California in 1993, Custom Axis was originally formed to provide chassis builders and aftermarket part suppliers with a shock absorber truly tailored to fit their applications and designs. The ability to make a product specific to custom a-arms, swing arms, and suspension geometries allowed Custom Axis to grow in popularity throughout the ATV market. But the ability to produce a custom product was not the only prerequisite to achieving success. Outstanding performance, quality, and consistency are what gave our riders an edge over the competition. Custom Axis continued to embody the traits, and the results spoke for themselves.

As the Custom Axis brand gained momentum, Penske Racing Shocks, a high-end suspension manufacturer, began to notice. Having had multiple successes in the automotive and motorcycle racing markets, Penske wanted to incorporate their race-winning technology into the off-road markets. As a means to do so, Penske acquired a controlling interest of Custom Axis in 1998.

As technology was exchanged between the two companies, Custom Axis Racing Shocks continued to improve and benefit from advancements learned in other forms of racing. Manufacturing techniques, vehicle dynamics awareness, and set-up expertise transcended company lines to bring the best attributes of Penske Racing Shocks and Custom Axis Racing Shocks together to form a remarkable base of knowledge. This culminated in 2003 when Penske Racing Shocks fully acquired Custom Axis Racing Shocks. As part of our strategy to bring all of our technology under one roof, Custom Axis relocated from Lodi, California to Penske Racing Shocks headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2005. Working together under one roof has allowed our engineering and technical staffs to share research and development, grow performance of the Custom Axis product line, and ultimately better serve our customers.

Custom Axis riders benefit from the highest quality components, most innovative thinking in shock design and function, and the best customer service in the business. Our company is comprised of racers, enthusiasts, top-of-the-line engineers, experienced technical staff, and motivated administration. Custom Axis is more than a profession to our team members - it's their passion. Our primary goal is helping our customers achieve success. It's how we operate and how we live.

Additionally, Custom Axis Racing Shocks are 100% designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.
