The Fox Float SL is the new definitive XC shock from Fox. It is the lightest shock in the portfolio and still offers strong and efficient performance. Particular emphasis was placed on improved traction and more consistent damping. This was achieved with a new main piston, valve and IFP (internal floating piston) cartridge. Of course, the proven EVOL air spring is also used on the Float SL. The shock can be set in three suspension modes (Open, Medium and Firm) by adjusting the lever. Additionally, the low-friction Kashima coating reduces starting torque. Factory says it all: full functionality, the best materials and developed to meet the high demands of the best cyclists on the trails and racing tracks of the world. All Factory Series products feature the original Kashima coating for a buttery smooth ride. This shock absorber is specially designed for mounting according to the Trunnion standard. The upper mount is located on the side of the shock and not in the shock eyelet as is normally the case. This made it possible to shorten the overall length without creating space problems inside. The air chamber called EVOL with increased volume for the negative air chamber. EVOL is short for "Extra Volume". This adjustment should also have a positive effect on the quality of the suspension by reducing the breakaway torque of the shock absorber. This leads to better traction and softer response. The Fox Float SL shock should make the rear significantly more efficient. By introducing metric installation dimensions, shock absorber manufacturers want to achieve a standardization of standards. In the future there should no longer be so many different variants. Furthermore, the aim is to obtain a linear gradation of the different length and travel dimensions similar to that already achieved with suspension forks. Incidentally, these shock absorbers offer more space inside, since generally the hole spacing has been slightly increased for the same stroke. This optimizes functionality and reliability. Kashima coating for a smooth ride feel is available exclusively from FOX. It offers exceptional overall performance, guarantees minimal friction and optimal reactivity with maximum durability.
