REAR SHOCK INSTALLATION
Rear shock setup and configuration varies greatly between different bicycle manufacturers. Be sure to refer to
the owner's manual for your bicycle. FOX products should be installed by a qualified bicycle service technician,
in accordance with FOX installation specifications. Improperly installed shocks can fail, causing the rider to lose
control, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
If you are installing your shock on a bike for which the shock was not original equipment, follow the steps below
to ensure proper clearance before riding.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the shock onto your frame according to your frame manufacturer's instructions. For strut mount
bikes, follow the steps in this section, along with the instructions on the next page for STRUT MOUNT
BIKES.
2. Remove the air cap, attach a shock pump, then SLOWLY release all air out of the main air chamber.
3. Slowly compress the suspension through its entire travel.
4. Check that the shock does NOT contact any portion of your frame or linkage as it cycles through its travel.
See the next page for the POSITIONING AND CLEARANCE section, which details the clearance required
between the air valve, shock reservoir, and frame.
The shock has a pair of decals installed that show the factory alignment of the
air valve/XV sleeve. When changing volume spacers or performing any shock
service, you must ensure the shock is reassembled with the dots aligned (see
the image to the right). Failure to do so may result in shock or frame damage.
If you are re-aligning the air valve/XV sleeve, you must remove the lower
decal and affix a replacement (included with aftermarket product) so they are
aligned as shown.
5. Set the sag according to instructions below or online at www.ridefox.com.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure:
FLOAT X2 air shocks have a maximum air pressure of 350 psi.
Minimum air pressure is:
50 psi for all air shocks.
Pressure measured at an ambient temperature of 70-75˚F. Normal operating
temperature range for FOX products is 20-140˚F.
