Description
Any trail bike is just not complete without Fox's Float RP2 shock. It offers a huge range of adjustability and showcases advanced suspension technology. Features like the 2-position ProPedal, that allows you to easily dial in the level of firmness with the flick of a lever, from full-firm for race day to light and plush for the downhills. To balance this great damping, you can also dial in the rebound to get the best of both worlds in a super-light package. The Boost Valve unites DH plushness with XC efficiency for increased control, traction and bottom-out resistance. Fox has been ahead of the competition for years and with a Float on your bike, you will be too.

Pros: feels great
Cons: switches / positions are confusing at first as they arent labeled. You have to look at the manual to figure it out.
