The Float X2 combines ultra-plush, coil-like comfort and serious damping control with the light weight of an air spring and Fox's widest tuning range. This version comes in the imperial sizes many enduro and downhill frames use, finished in Genuine Kashima Coat.

Highlights

• 4-way adjust: high- and low-speed compression, high- and low-speed rebound
• Variable Valve Control (VVC) on high-speed rebound
• 8-click high-speed compression and rebound, matching Fox GRIP2 forks
• Independent firm mode circuit on 2-position lever versions
• Progressive bottom-out bumper and lower-friction air seals
• Updated compression ratios, 300 psi maximum
• Genuine Kashima Coat

Air spring, coil-like feel

Linear damping gives more control and less harshness, while the high-flow main piston, ultra-low-friction hard chrome damper shaft and finned inner body add rigidity and reduce hysteresis. The progressive bottom-out bumper takes the sting out of big hits.

Lever or no lever

The 7.875 x 2in and 8.5 x 2.5in shocks have a 2-position firm lever on an independent circuit for a firmer lockout than the previous Float X2. The 9.5 x 3in and 10.5 x 3.5in downhill sizes skip the lever and keep the full four-way adjust.

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

Imperial shocks are measured in inches; match the eye-to-eye length and stroke your frame maker specifies. Mounting hardware isn't included; it's sold separately and has to suit your frame's mounts.

Sizes & options

Each size comes in one damper configuration, set by Fox.
