The 2026 FLOAT X2 Factory arrives with a completely redesigned chassis and damping system, elevating one of FOX’s most iconic gravity shocks to a new level of performance. Now built around a monotube architecture, the latest X2 delivers improved durability, smoother response, and a broader tuning range—while maintaining the precise 4‑way adjustability that made it a favorite among Enduro and Downhill riders.
This 185 × 55 mm Metric Trunnion version features an oversized air chamber for a more grounded, linear feel on rough terrain, paired with a low‑friction seal package that enhances small‑bump sensitivity. A stronger ½‑inch damper shaft boosts reliability under heavy loads, and the pressure‑balanced internal layout keeps damping consistent on long, demanding descents. Finished with FOX’s signature Kashima Coat, the FLOAT X2 Factory delivers the smooth, controlled performance gravity riders rely on.
