Damping Adjustment on FOX Float X2
The X2 air shock has tuning options well beyond the scope of what we
can cover here. Not only can the shock be tuned through the use of the
HSC, LSC, HSR, and LSR knobs, but it can also be tuned via the amount
of air pressure in the shock and the addition or removal of air volume
spacers to change the spring curve characteristics. We have settled
on an air spring curve that has proven to be optimized for a wide range
of riders from a sport level to our World Cup DH team, so changing the
Pivot factory air spring curve characteristics is not really necessary.
We recommend 30% sag on the Float X2 Air. Based on this sag setting
you can record your air pressure and use FOX’s tuning chart on the next
page to set your High Speed Compression damping (HSC), Low Speed
Compression damping (LSC), High Speed Rebound damping (HSR), and
Low Speed Rebound damping (LSR). These settings are also applicable
to Performance series Float X2 air shocks that feature only the LSC and
LSR adjustments. The numbers in the chart refers to how many clicks
clockwise from the open setting the dials should be set. Fox sets up
shocks from the closed position, so that has been provided in parentheses.
The diagram to the right shows the locations of each adjustment knob on
the X2 shock.
2-Position Lever
X2 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.

Setting Sag on FOX Float X2
Start by setting sag using the same process as the shocks on page 2. There is no sag indicator on the Float X2 shock. Use the measurements
listed below to determine sag. Different models and sizes of Pivot bikes use different length shocks and therefore require different sag
settings. For bike models not shown here refer to sag measurements found on page 2. The bike models for each sag setting are listed under
the respective diagrams. Though the X2s don't have sag indicators for reference the Phoenix's sag is correct when the o-ring is lined up with
the end of the reservoir and the Firebird, and Mach 6 are at proper sag the o-ring will be lined up with bottom of the reservoir can on current
model shocks. Both of these are represented in the diagrams below.
