FOX - FLOAT X LIVE VALVE NEO FACTORY SHOCKS 

Smash Ready
FLOAT X remains the master of Trail and AM suspension, new internals for MY27 delivering even greater performance and tunability than ever before.It delivers fade-free performance, sophisticated damping, and class-leading durability. For riders seeking a high-performance air shock, FLOAT X provides the ideal balance of sensitivity, support, and efficiency.

ALL-MOUNTAIN. MADE FASTEST.
The renowned FLOAT X teams up with Live Valve Neo for the ultimate in wireless suspension control. Together with the shock’s advanced damping, fade free performance and class-leading durability, the Controller will open or firm the compression circuit based on trail data in 1/70th of a second.
 

Unequalled Wireless Suspension Control
What separates Live Valve Neo from other electronic suspension systems? It's how it helps you ride faster in every situation, whether climbing, traversing or descending. When commanded by the sensors, the shock will switch between two positions: Open and Firm-in as little as 1/70th of a second.

Live Valve Neo does not employ a third "Pedal" mode, which some riders may perceive as necessary when climbing technical trails, or pedalling through low angle technical sections. Live Valve Neo can switch between Open and Firm so fast that a middle ground setting is not necessary. You get full support of Firm mode exactly when you need it, and the plushness of Open mode exactly when you want it.

The ultra-fast switch between Open and Firm Mode lets you experience the efficiency of riding a hardtail, but only when you want it. This allows riders to maintain momentum and speed easier than ever before, in all sorts of riding scenarios.
Some examples:

  • Pumping out of corners. The shock may open briefly in the middle of a corner to maintain traction, but by the time you're ready to exit the corner, the rear of the bike will be firmer, more supportive, and conducive to pumping for speed.
  • Getting airborne. If your shock is firm during take-off from a jump or drop, the Controller will detect that you are airborne after take-off, and open your shock so it's ready to absorb when you touch down on the landing.
  • Riding through a short technical section on an otherwise smooth climb. When climbing, Live Valve Neo defaults to Firm, but after your front wheel encounters its first obstacle, your rear shock can open to absorb the impact, then quickly firm up for power out of the technical section.
  • On an eMTB, riders climb faster and spend more time seated, experiencing higher impacts on climbs. Opening the shock when needed absorbs more of that impact. OEMs can also tune shim stacks inside the Live Valve Neo shock to forego an e-bike's stiff pedalling platform in favour of unrestrained descent performance. Live Valve Neo's Firm mode creates its own pedalling platform.
