FAQs

What is the maximum pressure for the Fox Float X2?

The shock is rated for a maximum pressure of 300psi.

Does this shock come with a climb switch?

Yes, this model features a 2-position lever that includes an independent firm mode circuit for climbing efficiency.

How often should I service this shock?

You should follow the manufacturer's recommended service intervals, typically based on ride hours, to maintain damper performance and seal integrity.

What is VVC and what does it do?

Variable Valve Control (VVC) is a system that allows for refined high-speed rebound adjustment, giving you more control over the shock's return speed after deep compressions.

Can I use this on any mountain bike?

The shock must match your frame's specific metric shock mounting dimensions and stroke length; consult your bike manufacturer's specifications.

Why is the inner body finned?

The finned inner body is designed to provide greater structural rigidity and improved heat dissipation during long, demanding descents.

Troubleshooting

Shock feels harsh or unresponsive

Check sag settings and ensure your air pressure is correct; verify that the low-speed compression/rebound settings are not dialed in too firm.

Suspension bottoming out too frequently

Increase air pressure or add volume spacers to the air spring to increase progressivity at the end of the stroke.

Lockout is not fully firm

Check the independent firm mode circuit adjustment and ensure the lever is fully engaged in the locked position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent small-bump sensitivity due to low-friction components
  • Highly tunable settings for professional-grade performance
  • Increased structural integrity with the finned inner body design
  • Effective lockout via the independent firm mode circuit

Cons

  • Requires professional or advanced user setup
  • Higher maintenance intervals for optimal performance
  • Complex tuning process may be overwhelming for casual riders

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup starts with identifying the correct eye-to-eye and stroke measurements for your frame. Always ensure your frame is compatible with metric shock standards before installation. When setting up, use a high-pressure shock pump to reach your desired sag, keeping in mind the 300psi maximum capacity.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly clean the exterior of the shock body and shaft using a soft cloth to prevent grit from entering the seals.
  • Perform scheduled damper and air-sleeve services according to Fox's recommended hour intervals.
  • Check air pressure and dial settings before each ride to ensure your suspension characteristics have not drifted.
