Hello. Quick question. First experience with this shock on my new bike, hb130. I'm finding I need 270psi to achieve 30% sag (15mm between wiper seal and o ring) with weight of 13 stone. I've equalised the Chambers every 50psi when filling up. Is this normal, somthint I've done wrong? Faulty shock?

Thanks

I could be wrong but I think you still have another 100 or psi before it maxes out so it could be right.

The DPX2 can take 350psi, same as the X2 i believe, they are high pressure shocks, and i wish Fox had actually designed a shock pump to work with them better than the normal ones on the market, as it's a pain having to pump them up to those pressures!

Yes, totally normal. I was surprised when I first set mine up. I need 235psi on a 130mm travel bike, 55mm shock stroke, 80kg. On an equivalent rockshox I need about 175psi.
