Climb with conviction and descend with determination. The Float Factory gives modern trail riders a firm pedal platform for the climbs and a confident, trail-hugging ride on the way down, all in a light inline package with Genuine Kashima Coat.
Highlights
- 2-position lever for Open and Firm modes, plus a 3-position Open mode micro adjust

- Large-diameter main piston, valving and internal floating piston (IFP)
- MCU bottom-out bumper for end-stroke progression
- Genuine Kashima Coat
- Weight 310 g (190 x 45mm, with IGUS bushings, without mounting hardware)
Trail control without the weight
The large-volume EVOL air sleeve lets you run lower pressures for a more linear feel, smoother small-bump response and better grip, and it won't overheat on long descents. Bolstered valving and an oversized IFP give a wider tuning range and damping control that edges closer to Float X, while the inline body keeps weight down and leaves room for a bottle cage.
Dial it in
Use the 2-position lever to switch between Firm for climbing and Open for descending. In Open mode, the 3-position micro adjust sets your preferred compression feel, and the 12-click dial handles rebound.
Fitting and Fox service
Fitting isn't included: shock installation and setup is a separate workshop service. Tune Cycles is an authorised Fox service centre in Marrickville, Sydney, so we can fit your new shock, set it up for your weight and riding, and look after its servicing. Fox recommends a full service every 125 hours of riding.
Compatibility & fit
Match the eye-to-eye length and stroke your frame maker specifies, and check whether your frame takes a standard eye or a trunnion mount. Mounting hardware isn't included; it's sold separately and has to suit your frame's mounts.
Sizes & options
Every size has the 2-position lever with Open mode adjust and the EVOL LV air sleeve.
