Set up the Fox Float X2 shock in 6 EASY steps!

FYI, I am sponsored by both Fox and Jenson USA!
Anything purchased from Jenson USA will help support me and my videos- thank you!

Here are six easy steps to set up the Fox Float X2 rear mountain bike shock correctly! Proper suspension set up is critical for optimum bike performance and safety, so it’s worth some of your time to understand the shock and set it up correctly. This guideline will also apply to many other shocks with separate high and low speed compression and rebound adjustments, including those with coil springs.

Did you have a hard time setting up your X2?

[JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

I’ve never seen such enthusiasm over shocks!!

[HeidiFegles]

Here I am again. Did I just get a bike with a float x2 and fox 38 already watched the fork one and now this was next, perfect

[daveandmerlin]

You Sir probably give the best tutorials on YouTube and your a Rad rider so I trust your opinion.

[OutdoorGold]

You captivated my attention when you said "Do you have a Fox Float X2?" then "this video is going to show you how to set it up CORRECTLY" Its like you knew the struggles in my life LOL Nice work, I think I'm going to have to watch this again ON the trail!

This video couldn’t be more perfect for me! We have the same shock, same bike, same weight and same riding am I kidding. Lol. But your settings are spot on for me. 👌🏽

[utfafricaa]

Awesome video. Explained consequences of bad setting in a very relatable way.

[calivino]

You made tuning my X2 on my firebird so much easier than the other videos and Fox's manual lol Keep it up!

[ThePedro--]

Thank you man!!no one has done a understandable explanation of this shock on YouTube!!

[lobbyrobby]

I was looking for info on the suspension of a side by side but here I am. I guess I'll watch it

Nice Vid my LBS is getting me the X2 2020 model putting it on the mach 5.5 she needs it...going to dig out the shock wiz gets it very close from past shocks and mates rigs as well

[xerexonk]

My bike came with it, amazing stuff.. I'm rather afraid messing up my stock setting.. thanks for that interesting video!

[misterchow]

Hey Jeff, it's great how you relate each adjustment to changes in performance and feel on the trail. With so many variables it's easy to confuse yourself. Be methodical, dial it in and then let'r rip!

[nicholascaptures]

Just ordered one from Jenson for my Tr patrol. Going to test and tune it at Windrock bikepark next weekend

[panzer_friend]

Great video. Was also just thinking today how somebody would use a measuring caliper with their bike and I guess I got my answer!

[tobin]

Thx for the great info the one thing you didn't mention was what you were running your hsr or hsc at how many clicks backed out from closed ? Thx.

[gekkardboy]

Good video Jeff. Got the DPX2 and still dialing it in. This helps.

Thank u for making this video. Was definitely the easiest to follow, for me. It was very informative and easy to understand. Thank you!
