FOX Racing Float Factory Rear Bicycle Shocks The FOX FLOAT rear shock is engineered to meet the demands of the modern trail rider. It perfectly blends a firm pedaling platform for uphill efficiency with a confidence-inspiring, trail-hugging descent capability, all delivered in a lightweight package. While riders might seek the performance of a Float X paired with the low weight of a Float SL, the FLOAT is far from a compromise; it’s a distinct and powerful unit designed to elevate your ride. ✅Core Performance & Design Advantages The FLOAT utilizes a large-volume air spring design and refined internals to deliver smooth, consistent performance across all terrain types. Optimized Trail Suspension: Provides a highly effective pedaling platform for climbing efficiency without penalizing descending capabilities. Large Volume EVOL Air Spring: This design allows riders to utilize lower air pressures for a more linear feel throughout the stroke. Superior Small Bump Sensitivity: The EVOL air spring translates to smoother performance over small obstacles and chatter, enhancing overall tire grip. Consistent Descending: The shock is engineered to maintain performance and not overheat even on the most demanding, long descents. End-Stroke Control: Includes an MCU bottom-out bumper for progressive damping and protection right at the end of the travel. ✅Technology and Adjustability The shock is built with advanced internals for consistency and offers riders full control over their compression settings. Internal Upgrades: Features a new large diameter main piston, valving, and IFP (Internal Floating Piston) for increased performance, consistency, and a wider range of tuneability. Responsive Air Sleeve: The lightweight, one-piece EVOL air sleeve significantly improves the shock's responsiveness and overall sensitivity. Compression Adjustments: Offers three distinct modes of compression adjustment for quick, on-the-fly tuning: Open, Medium, and Firm. Full Customization: Allows precise adjustment of both rebound and air spring pressure. ✅Factory Series Features Genuine Kashima Coat: Factory models are designed to exceed the demands of professional riders, featuring the slippery smooth, ultra-durable Genuine Kashima Coat.
