The Fox Float shock range now covers four genres of riding: XC (Fox Float SL), trail (Float), ‘All Mountain’ (Float X) and gravity (Float X2).
We’ve not seen these in the flesh yet (apart from on a currently embargoed bike) so here’s the basic gist via Press Release:
Make Your Natural Selection
Mountain biking has evolved. So have air shocks. Choose the FLOAT that best pairs with your riding style.
The all-new FLOAT SL: Ultra light. Ultra fast. XC Race ready:
As its name suggests, the FLOAT SL is the smallest and lightest shock in our lineup, offering exceptional pedaling efficiency and optimized performance for XC riding and racing. With an all-new main piston, valving, and IFP (Internal Floating Piston), FLOAT SL delivers improved traction, consistent damping, and a wider range of adjustability to suit modern riders’ preferences.
The all-new FLOAT: The ultimate balance of XC weight and Trail capability:
Designed to meet the demands of weight-conscious Trail riders, FLOAT boasts a firm and efficient pedaling platform to power up the climbs combined with confidence-inspiring, trail-gripping descending capability rivaling its bigger, more aggressive sibling, FLOAT X – which it shares damper technology with. FLOAT’s in-line configuration, however, contributes to a remarkable 150-gram weight savings over FLOAT X and saves precious frame space for things like water bottles, spares, or tools. With enhanced tuning options and precise damping control, the all-new FLOAT is the ideal lightweight yet high-performance trail shock.
