The FOX FLOAT X Factory is an air shock with a piggyback reservoir for all mountain and aggressive trail riding. It has tool free low speed compression and rebound adjusters and a 2 position firm switch.

What it's for

A rear shock upgrade or replacement for trail and all mountain bikes that take a 210 mm metric shock.

How it works

Monotube damper with a high flow main piston: FOX says the piston adds sensitivity, support, and rear tire grip.

EVOL air sleeve: a larger negative air chamber lets you run lower pressure for a more linear feel and better small bump grip.

Piggyback reservoir: sized for each shock length to balance performance and weight.

Kashima Coat: a hard, slick coating on the shock body for durability.
