REAR SHOCK INSTALLATION
Rear shock setup and configuration varies greatly between different bicycle manufacturers. Be sure to
refer to the owner's manual for your bicycle. FOX products should be installed by a qualified bicycle
service technician, in accordance with FOX installation specifications. Improperly installed shocks can fail,
causing the rider to lose control, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
If you are installing your shock on a bike for which the shock was not original equipment, follow the steps
below to ensure proper clearance before riding.
AIR SHOCKS
1. Install the shock onto your frame according to your frame manufacturer's instructions.
2. Remove the air cap, attach a shock pump, then SLOWLY release all air out of the main air chamber.
3. Slowly compress the suspension through its entire travel.
4. Check that the shock does NOT contact any portion of your frame or linkage as it cycles through
its travel.
5. Set the sag according to instructions online at www.ridefox.com.
Minimum air pressure is:
50 psi for all air shocks.
Pressure measured at an ambient temperature of 70-75˚F. Normal operating
temperature range for FOX products is 20-140˚F.
SAG SETTING
To achieve the best performance from your FOX suspension, adjust the air pressure to attain your proper
sag setting. Sag is the amount your suspension compresses under your weight and riding gear. Sag range
should be set to 25–30% of total shock travel.
Watch the sag setup video at ridefox.com/sagsetup.
1. Turn the compression adjuster fully counter-clockwise and set the 2-position lever to the Open
mode if present
2. Start by setting the shock air pressure (psi) to match your weight in pounds. With the air pump
attached to the shock valve, slowly cycle your shock through 25% of its travel 10 times as you reach
your desired pressure. This will equalize the positive and negative air chambers and will change the
pressure on the pump gauge.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure: FLOAT SL air shocks have a maximum air pressure of 350 psi.
3. Remove the pump.
4. Sit still on the bike in your normal riding position, using a wall or a tree for support.
5. Pull the sag indicator o-ring up against the rubber air sleeve seal.
6. Carefully dismount the bike without bouncing.
7. Measure the distance between the sag indicator o-ring and the rubber air sleeve seal.
Compare your measurement to the 'Suggested Sag Measurements' table.
8. Add or remove air pressure until you reach your desired sag measurement.
