A feather‑light XC shock engineered for maximum efficiency and race‑winning control.
The 2026 FLOAT SL Factory is FOX’s lightest rear shock, purpose‑built for cross‑country racers and fast trail riders who demand instant response and uncompromising pedaling efficiency. This 210 × 55 mm version pairs a compact, weight‑optimized chassis with the refined Evol LV air spring, delivering impressive small‑bump sensitivity while maintaining the firm support needed for explosive acceleration.
Designed around a Remote Up lockout configuration, the FLOAT SL allows riders to switch modes instantly without taking a hand off the bars—perfect for sprint finishes, steep climbs, and rapid terrain changes. The Kashima‑coated shaft ensures ultra‑smooth movement, while the lightweight reservoir layout (Rezi) keeps damping consistent on long, demanding courses. Tunability is enhanced with FOX’s volume‑adjust system, and this model includes the ideal setup for XC performance.
