The all-new FOX Float Factory 2-Position Adjust Metric Trunnion Rear Shock answers the demands of the modern trail rider, providing a firm pedal platform for uphill efficiency and confidence-inducing, trail-hugging descent capability in a lightweight package.
Performance and Design
Trail riders seek a shock with the performance of a Float X but with the lightweight capability of the Float SL. With its large volume EVOL air spring, riders can run the shock at lower air pressures for a more linear feel throughout the stroke. This results in smoother small bump performance, better grip at the tyres, and a shock that will not overheat on demanding descents.
Optimising suspension for trail riding means creating a firm platform for pedalling and climbing efficiency without penalising descending performance. With bolstered valving and an oversized Internal Floating Piston (IFP), the remote-compatible FLOAT offers a wider range of tuning and enhanced damping control that approaches the performance of the FLOAT X, all within a compact package.
The inline design keeps the weight down, being 160 grams lighter than the FLOAT X and just 60 grams heavier than the featherweight FLOAT SL in the 190 x 45mm size. It provides a greater range of fitment for trail bike frames, leaves more clearance for water bottle cages, and is compatible with a wider range of eMTB frames.
