So my FOX X2 has started making squelching noises again, the shock cost £700 new and has had that spent on it again in the last two years on replacement parts that were found to be damaged when FOX performed its yearly service

The X2 is known to have reliability issues (especially my 2020 version) when used on a Spesh Levo E-MTB so time to get rid and try something else

So i don't ride big drops and jumps etc.. any more, just trail, XC and some Enduro so was thinking of going for a lighter shock like the FOX Float X Factory, are there any known issues with these?

Im running FOX 38 Factory forks and a FOX Transfer Factory seatpost so would like to stick with a FOX Factory rear shock 

Not interested in any other brands apart from maybe Ohlins as i can get a very good discount on Ohlins and could over look the loss of the matching Factory finish on my forks, shock and seatpost for a cheap Ohlins
