Setting Compression Damping on the Fox Float X
Some Float X shocks features a
which can be used to fine tune the open mode of the compression damping. This
knob offers 10 additional fine tune adjustment settings to the open mode. Turning
the knob clockwise will increase low speed compression damping. Turning the
knob counter-clockwise will decrease low speed compression damping. You can
experiment with all of these options to find the setting that provides the best
compression support and plushest feel for your weight and riding style. For a rider
close to 100 lbs we recommend having the compression fully open, by having the
knob turned fully counter-clockwise. For riders 200 lbs we like to start at 3 clicks
in from full closed as a good baseline setting. If the rider's weight is less than 200
lbs, open up compression damping 1 click counter-clockwise for every 10 lbs less.
For every 10 lbs over 200 lbs we recommend increasing compression damping by 1
click clockwise.
Using the Two-Position Lever on the Fox Float X
Float X shocks feature a two-position lever for on-the-fly adjustment between fully
open and firm for climbing. The firm setting is best suited for long fire road climbs
and smooth XC courses.
Setting Compression Damping on the Fox DPS
Because all dw-link® equipped Pivot bikes pedal so efficiently, we use the
compression lever as a tuning tool for rider weight and compression support.
All bikes can be run with the
Float DPS shocks, the lever is turned towards the opposite side of the air valve.
Lighter riders under 160 lbs will generally run in the full open position most of
the time. Riders in the 190 lbs+ range and more aggressive riders who like the
feel of more mid-stroke support will generally prefer the middle setting. The
firm setting is for long fire road climbs, and smooth XC race courses where a
more locked out feel is desired.
All Factory Series Float DPS shocks feature three additional options that affect
the open setting via the black knob. This knob needs to be lifted slightly to turn
to one of the three designated options. #1 is the most open, or least amount of
compression damping, and #3 is the firmest (but still slightly less firm than the
middle position of the
to find the setting that provides the best compression support and plushest
feel for your weight and riding style. Other than running in the full firm mode
on rocky descents, all settings are designed to work well in a wide variety of
terrain and rider weights.
