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.
AIR SHOCKS
1. Install the shock onto your frame according to your frame manufacturer's instructions.
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.
5. Set the sag according to instructions online at www.ridefox.com.
Do not remove the internal red spacer limiter and under no circumstances
use more than the FOX Factory specified quantity of volume spacers for your
shock absorber.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure:
FLOAT DPS and DPX2 air shocks have a maximum air pressure of 350 psi.
FLOAT X2 air shocks have a maximum air pressure of 250 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.
COIL SHOCKS
1. Remove the coil spring from your shock (see the 'Removing the Coil Spring' section).
2. Install the shock onto your frame according to your frame manufacturer's instructions.
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.
5. Remove the shock from your frame, reinstall the coil spring (see the 'Installing the Coil Spring'
section), and reinstall your shock. Check that the spring does not contact any portion of your frame
or linkage.
6. Set the sag according to instructions online at www.ridefox.com.
EVOL AIR SLEEVE
EVOL comes factory installed on FLOAT X2, and is available as an option for FLOAT DPS and FLOAT DPX2.
ADDING AIR PRESSURE
Equalize the positive and negative air chambers by slowly compressing the shock through 25% of its travel
10-20 times after every 50 psi addition.
Failure to equalize the chambers can result in greater pressure in the positive air chamber than the
negative chamber. If the shock feels very stiff and is in the topout position, compress the shock until you
hear or feel air transfer. Hold the shock in this compressed position for a few seconds.
