Damping Adjustment on FOX Float X
Rebound Damping
Rebound setting is dependent on air pressure. For example, higher air pres-
sures require slower rebound setting. We set rebound from the most open or
fastest position, so start by turning the red rebound dial counter-clockwise
all the way out. Refer to the table on the right for the suggested rebound
setting based on the air pressure you have in your shock to achieve the
correct sag. The number in the chart refers to how many clicks clockwise
from the open setting the rebound should be set. Fox sets rebound from the
closed position, so that has been provided in the table in parentheses.
Compression Damping
2-Position Lever
Float X shocks feature a two position lever allows for on-the-fly adjustment
between fully open and firm for climbing. For most riding conditions it is
best to have the lever open. As with the other shocks, the firm setting is
best suited for long fire road climbs and smooth XC courses.
Low Speed Compression Knob
The Factory Series Float X features a blue low speed compression adjust-
ment knob, which can be used to fine tune the open mode of the compres-
sion damping. This knob offers 10 additional fine tune adjustment settings
to the open mode. Turning the knob clockwise will increase low speed com-
pression damping. Turning the screw 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 100lb. we recommend having the compression fully
open, by having the knob turned fully counter-clockwise. For riders 200lb.
we like to start at 3 clicks in from full closed as a good baseline setting. If
the rider's weight is less than 200lb., open up compression dampening 1
click counter-clockwise for every 10lb. less. For every 10lb. over 200lb. we
recommend increasing compression damping by 1 click clockwise.
