The latest FLOAT X2 Factory brings a completely re‑engineered chassis and damping system while staying true to the shock’s reputation for unmatched tunability. Now built around a monotube architecture, the 2026 X2 delivers greater durability, improved sensitivity, and a broader tuning range—all while preserving its hallmark 4‑way adjustability. Designed for riders who demand maximum traction, support, and control, the FLOAT X2 remains the benchmark gravity‑focused air shock for Enduro and Downhill racing.
This 205 × 65 mm Metric Trunnion version features the new oversized air chamber for a more planted, linear feel, along with a reduced‑friction seal package that enhances responsiveness on small bumps. A larger ½‑inch damper shaft boosts strength and consistency under heavy loads, while the pressure‑balanced internal layout keeps performance stable on long, demanding descents. Finished with FOX’s signature Kashima Coat, the FLOAT X2 Factory delivers the smoothest action possible.
