All tuning and upgrade options fork for 2022+ Fox FLOAT X and DHX rear shocks.

2022+ FLOAT X  & DHX are identified with 6 sided spanner flats on piggy back tube.  Different to the 2016 Float X and 2005 DHX.
Not applicable to 2016-2018 FLOAT X and earlier DHX models.

These shocks are not a favourite of ours for tuning.  They have a wooden feel and use imperial shims in a rare size which limits tunability.  If customers want to tune a Fox shock we recommend the 2021+ FLOAT X2 or DHX2.  If customers want a tuneable Rockshox shock we recommend the 2018-22 Super Deluxe Ultimate air or coil.  If customers want a tuneable Manitou shock we recommend the Mara Inline or Piggyback.

But if you insist we can tune them for you.

Send us your rear shock and we will custom tune it to your bike, weight, terrain and riding style.  This service removes harshness & lag, increases support and brings a live and playful feel, increasing both support and compliance.
