THE FOX FLOAT X2 PERFORMANCE ELITE SHOCK
STEP 1 (PERFORMANCE ELITE ONLY)
Turn the 2-position Compression lever to the fully OPEN mode (counter-clockwise).
STEP 2
To set the sag, push the shock o-ring all the way to the shock body and carefully sit on the bike wearing your riding kit and measure how far it has moved. For the Dreadnought, we recommend 35% sag (or 22.75mm of shaft insertion). Please reference the chart below for your recommended [air pressure] start- ing point in PSI.
As you fine tune the way your Dreadnought feels on the trail, we’d recommend making small and incremental adjustments of 2 PSI. Please use the compact digital shock pump (this was designed to fit into most back and hip packs) that came with your bike to make these adjustments on the trail.
STEP 3
Turn the [red] Rebound adjusters (HSR on Performance Elite shocks only) and the [blue] Compression adjusters (HSC on Performance Elite shocks only) all the way to the closed (full clockwise) position.
The recommended settings as shown below are clicks counted from closed—use this chart to determine your baseline settings.

THE ROCKSHOX SUPER DELUXE ULTIMATE SHOCK
STEP 1
Turn the lock-out lever to the fully OPEN mode (pointing towards the shock body).
STEP 2
To set the sag, push the shock o-ring all the way to the shock body and carefully sit on the bike wearing your riding kit and measure how far it has moved. For the Dreadnought, we recommend 35% sag (or 22.75mm of shaft insertion). Please reference the chart below for your recommended [air pressure] start- ing point in PSI.
As you fine tune the way your Dreadnought feels on the trail, we’d recommend making small and incremental adjustments of 2 PSI. Please use the compact digital shock pump (this was designed to fit into most back and hip packs) that came with your bike to make these adjustments on the trail.
STEP 3
Turn the [red] Rebound adjuster and the [black] Compression (LSC) adjuster all the way to the closed (full clockwise) position. Note that the rebound adjuster can get stiffer as you close it. For reference there should be 10 clicks from open.
The recommended settings as shown below are clicks counted from closed—use this chart to determine your baseline settings. You will notice that this shock is run with open/fast for the majority of rider weights.
