The current adjustment system of the Float X uses a bleed port style low speed bleed damping system. The choice of 1 full turn. The bleed check valving is set-up for pedaling and requires a large force to overcome this threshold. This is because the shims are preloaded against the piston face and require larger hits or higher shaft speeds to open the shims to allow flow, this creates a platform feel that works great for pedaling but today's frames are much better at resisting pedaling. We think shocks should be set up for the higher speed downhill terrain because its more about how well the shock can absorb small bumps and handle the rough and rocky high speed hits than how well it was design to resist pedaling.

This change allows the revalved shims to open gradually and allowing us to set-up the midvalve and high speed valving based on the leverage of the frame.

Technical discussion:


High and mid speed compression system is controlled by the custom valved speed sensitive shimmed compression main piston. This is set-up to match the leverage and rider terrain.

Mid and high speed rebound is controlled by a custom valved shim stack to match the riders weight
(air can pressure) and the leverage of the frame.
Low speed rebound can now be fine tuned by the red rebound knob,
i.e. more usable positions rather than coarse tuning for air pressure.

Includes custom revalve and setup for rider, frame leverage and conditions

Includes New Interactive Set-Up Chart

Example

We will recommend the air can size and air can spacer if needed

Also includes complete rebuild service, oil, nitrogen charge and typical wear parts* included in price.

New lower friction, higher temperature shaft seal and IFP seal.
*(Typical wear parts: shaft seal, reducer DU bushings, and o-rings)

**The shock must be in good working condition with no scratches or dents on moving parts, if the air can is leaking, it should also be noted that air side will not be modified in anyway and any air side issues will not be addressed.

(Air can rebuild parts and volume spacers not included, these will be billed seperately if needed)
Service interval will remain the same as before the modifications)
