sag setting

To achieve the best performance from your FOX suspension, adjust the
air pressure to attain your proper sag setting. Sag is the amount your
suspension compresses under your weight and riding gear. Sag range
should be set to 25-30% of total shock travel.
Watch the sag setup video at ridefox.com/sagsetup

1. Start by setting the shock air pressure (psi) to match your weight in
pounds. With the air pump attached to the shock valve, slowly cycle
your shock through 25% of its travel 10 times as you reach your desired
pressure. This will equalize the positive and negative air chambers and
will change the pressure on the pump gauge.
Do not exceed 300 psi, the maximum FLOAT X2 air pressure!
2. Remove the pump.
3. Sit still on the bike in your normal riding position, using a wall or a
tree for support.
4. Pull the sag indicator o-ring up against the Dust Wiper.
5. Carefully dismount the bike without bouncing.
6. Measure the distance between the sag indicator o-ring and the
Dust Wiper. Compare your measurement to the ‘Suggested Sag
Measurements’ table.
7. Cycle the shock 10 times while adding or removing air pressure
until you reach your desired sag measurement.

The recommended settings in this tuning guide are designed
to be a starting point, in order to get you out on your first ride
in as few steps as possible. Consult your bike manufacturer’s
instructions for setup recommendations.

As you ride and get used to your new shock, adjust your settings as needed.
Detailed information and videos can be found in the online owner’s manual.

2 POSITION LEVER

The 2-position lever is useful to make


on-the-fly adjustments to control shock
performance, and is intended to be
adjusted throughout the ride. The Open
mode utilizes your standard HSC/LSC,
preset high- and low-speed compression
settings. The preset high- and low-speed
compression adjustments only have an affect
on compression damping when the lever is
in the OPEN position. The FIRM mode has a
very firm low-speed compression setting and
is useful for climbing and sprinting.

REBOUND

Low-speed rebound (LSR) adjustment is useful to control shock performance under brake
bumps, technical climbing, and off-camber cornering, when extra traction is needed.

LOW-SPEED REBOUND
3 MM HEX

High-speed rebound (HSR) adjustment is useful to allow the shock to recover from bigger
hits and square-edged bumps quickly enough to absorb consecutive hits. The HSR has 8 total
clicks of adjustment. When viewing the shock from the end with the HSR adjuster, rotating the
HSR adjuster clockwise slows down HSR. Rotating the HSR adjuster counter-clockwise speeds
up HSR. The HSR adjuster can be turned with a 2mm hex wrench or other similarly sized tool.

recommended settings
Use your air spring pressure in the table to find the suggested starting RVS
damper settings for your shock.
Turn all four damper adjusters to the closed position (full clockwise) until they
stop. Then back them out (counter-clockwise) to the number of clicks shown in
the table.

*Count clicks from Closed: 0 Clicks = Closed*

Additional tuning options
Volume Spacers
Changing volume spacers in the shock is an internal adjustment that allows you to
change the amount of mid stroke and bottom out resistance.
If you have set your sag correctly and are using full travel (bottoming out) too
easily, then you could install more spacers to increase bottom out resistance.
If you have set your sag correctly and are not using full travel, then you could
remove spacers to decrease bottom out resistance.
