Suspension manufacturer Fox has released two all-new rear shocks, designed for trail riding and cross-country racing.<\/p>\n

The new Fox Float and Float SL will replace the existing Fox DPS models, refining Fox\u2019s line-up of air shocks, and sitting alongside the Float X<\/a> and Float X2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Fox Float starts at \u00a3399 for the Performance-spec shock, rising to \u00a3569 for the top-flight Factory shock. The Performance Fox Float SL also starts at \u00a3399, with the premium Fox Float SL Factory shock priced slightly higher at \u00a3589. International pricing is TBC.<\/p>\n

The Float is designed for trail riding.<\/span><\/figcaption> Fox<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
  • Designed for trail use<\/li>\n
  • 293 grams (170x35mm)<\/li>\n
  • Available in standard and trunnion sizes<\/li>\n
  • \u00a3399 to \u00a3569<\/li>\n<\/ul>

    According to Fox, the new Float is designed for weight-conscious trail riders who still value grip and control when things get rough.<\/p>\n

    Borrowing damper technology from the larger Float X, the new Float uses an in-line design (without an external reservoir) to save 150 grams over its burlier stablemate.<\/p>\n

    The Fox Float has a large EVOL air spring for increased sensitivity and grip, and gets a new, remote-compatible two-position lever to change from a fully open mode to a tuneable firm mode.<\/p>\n

    The Fox Float is available in all three specs \u2013 Factory, Performance Elite and Performance.<\/p>\n

    • Designed for cross-country and marathon use<\/li>\n
    • 235 grams (170x35mm)<\/li>\n
    • Available in standard and trunnion sizes<\/li>\n
    • \u00a3399 to \u00a3589<\/li>\n<\/ul>

      The new Fox Float SL is designed for super-light performance, as its SL moniker implies.<\/p>\n

      Its in-line damper design is borrowed from the new Float, albeit in a stripped-down package.<\/p>\n

      A remote-compatible three-position lever enables you to switch between open, medium and firm modes.<\/p>\n

      The Fox Float SL is available in all three specs \u2013 Factory, Performance Elite and Performance.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
