BIKE SET-UP
Setting Proper Sag
1. Always set sag with the
open position. (fig. 1)
2. If your shock has additional compression and rebound
adjustments ensure they are adjusted to be fully open,
compression to the softest setting, and rebound to its
fastest setting. Do this by rotating them fully counter-
clockwise.
3. If it is not installed already, attach the sag indicator to
the bottom of the shock body using the provided zip-
tie and carefully cut the excess.(fig. 2)
4. Find a level surface and something to steady yourself
while mounted on the bike so you can be on the pedals
in a seated position. It may be easier to have a partner
hold your bike steady from the front, by holding the
handlebars while you are in your riding position.
5. While standing on the pedals, sit down hard into the
saddle to cycle the suspension well into the stroke.
This will ensure the bike comes to rest at the natural
sag setting with the rider in the saddle.
6. While in the saddle and not moving, slide the O-ring up
into position against the air can. (fig. 3)
7. Once the O-ring is set in place, slowly step off the bike
so as not to move the O-ring.
8. Make adjustments to the sag by removing or add-
ing air so that steps 4-7 result in the O-ring lining
up with the red line on the sag indicator (fig. 4).
*Do not exceed the maximum air pressure indicated
on your shock. When adjusting air pressure in the shock, cycle the shock at least 25% into its travel
before re-checking sag, so the negative air chamber equalizes pressure with the main chamber each
time air is added or removed. You can do this by pushing down on the saddle several times to com-
press the shock past the sag point.
Setting Sag on FOX Float X2
Start by setting sag using the same process as above. There is no
sag indicator on the Float X2 shock. However, when the o-ring is in
line with the end of the reservoir this is the correct amount of sag.
20mm is the correct measurement for the Shuttle LT. (fig. 5)
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 adjusters, 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.
•
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).

WARNING:
Make sure the sag

frame or linkage through the
suspension cycle. Otherwise,
the indicator may break while
riding.
