REAR SUSPENSION SETUP
First check the spring rate-chart on the bottom of this page to make sure that the
spring fitted on your FOX Performance Elite DHX2 Coil shock is within range for your
rider weight. If the spring is too hard or too soft you will need to change it. Please see
our Tech Videos section on our website to see how to change the coil on your shock.

SETTING REAR SHOCK SAG
The optimal sag on your rear shock is 20-30% of the piston's move-ment inside the
shock body (stroke). The distance between the two shock mounting bolts (eye-to-
eye) without a rider on the bike is 212mm progressive & 203mm Linear.
In the Progressive position your optimal sag range is 42.4mm (20%) to 63.6mm
(30%). In the Linear position your optimal sag range is 40.6mm (20%) to 60.9 (30%).
COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENTS
High-speed compression (HSC) adjustment is useful to control
shock performance during bigger hits, landings, and square-edged
bumps. Low-speed compression (LSC) adjustment is useful to
control shock performance during rider weight shifts, G-outs, and
other slow inputs. Starting closed to adjust turn counter-clockwise.
