Damping Adjustment on FOX DHX2
The DHX2 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 run different spring rates.
We recommend 30% sag on the DHX2. Based on your spring rate to achieve proper sag, refer to FOX’s tuning chart copied below to set
your High Speed Compression damping (HSC), Low Speed Compression damping (LSC), High Speed Rebound damping (HSR), and Low
Speed Rebound damping (LSR). 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 DHX2 shock.
