FAQs

What is the maximum air pressure for the Float X2?

The maximum air pressure for this shock is 300psi.

Does the 2-position adjust include a lockout?

Yes, it features an independent firm mode circuit that provides a firm platform for climbing.

What is VVC and why does it matter?

Variable Valve Control (VVC) allows you to tune the high-speed rebound damping externally without needing a full internal re-valve.

How often should I service this shock?

Fox recommends a full service annually or every 125 riding hours, whichever comes first.

Can I install this on any mountain bike?

You must ensure the shock length and stroke match your bike frame's requirements, and that your frame is compatible with a piggyback-style shock.

Troubleshooting

Shock feels harsh on small bumps

Check your air pressure setting to ensure it is not too high and check for excessive high-speed compression damping.

Noticeable wallow or bottoming out

Increase low-speed compression damping and consider adding volume spacers to increase the spring ramp-up.

Firm mode does not feel firm

Check for oil leaks around the adjuster or ensure the air pressure is correctly set as the lockout relies on proper damping pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior tunability for high-speed compression and rebound
  • Highly effective two-position climb switch
  • Extremely smooth and responsive performance
  • Robust construction with enhanced structural rigidity

Cons

  • Requires regular servicing to maintain peak performance
  • Tuning complexity can be overwhelming for casual riders
  • High performance demands specific setup knowledge

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To setup the Float X2, begin by setting your sag according to your frame's specific leverage ratio and rider weight, noting that the shock supports up to 300psi. Use the 8-click adjustments for high-speed compression and rebound to fine-tune the feel based on trail conditions. Compatibility should be verified with your specific frame's mounting hardware and shock stroke length before installation. Regarding care, keep the Kashima-coated damper shaft clean of mud and grit after every ride. Ensure the shock is serviced annually by an authorized service center to maintain the low-friction seal performance and fluid integrity.
