A purpose‑built XC shock engineered for riders who demand maximum efficiency, instant control, and ultra‑low weight.
The 2026 FLOAT SL Factory is FOX’s lightest rear shock, designed for cross‑country racers and fast trail riders who want a responsive, race‑tuned feel without sacrificing traction. This 190 × 45 mm version uses the refined Evol LV air spring, delivering impressive small‑bump sensitivity and a supportive mid‑stroke that keeps the bike composed during hard accelerations and technical climbs.
With its Remote Up lockout configuration, riders can switch modes instantly from the handlebar—ideal for sprinting, steep ascents, and rapid terrain transitions. The Kashima‑coated shaft ensures smooth, friction‑free movement, while the compact reservoir layout (Rezi) maintains consistent damping on long, demanding courses. Lightweight construction and FOX’s PTL tuning make this shock a standout choice for modern XC and marathon race bikes.
