Overview

The FOX FLOAT X2 Performance Elite is an air rear shock, offered in 5 Metric/Trunnion sizes. US RRP $769.

FLOAT X2 is FOX's gravity air shock, optimised for Downhill and Enduro racing. The current generation moves to a monotube chassis for greater durability while keeping its four-way (HSC/LSC/HSR/LSR) adjustability.

FOX sums it up as more traction, more support and more control. It is available in Metric and Metric Trunnion sizes, with a 2-position climb switch or full four-way damping.

  • Monotube FLOAT X2 chassis
  • 2-position climb switch
  • Black anodised finish
  • Starting weight 708 g (210x55, 2pos)
