Fox Racing Shox has unveiled its 2027 trail line, introducing the updated Float X and DHX models, now enhanced with Live Valve Neo technology. This advancement brings semi-active suspension capabilities to the trail and all-mountain categories, offering riders a more responsive and adaptable riding experience.<\/p>\n
Redesigned Internals for Enhanced Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n All four models in Fox’s X family of trail and all-mountain shocks have undergone significant internal redesigns. The goal was to integrate X2-level performance into these lighter, more user-friendly platforms. The Float X and DHX models now feature completely new base valves and main piston assemblies. The updated high-flow piston design approaches the performance of the Float X2 and DHX2, delivering increased sensitivity, improved support, and better rear tire grip for riders. (theloamwolf.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n Float X: Mastering Trail and All-Mountain Terrain<\/strong><\/p>\n The Float X continues to be a leader in trail and all-mountain suspension. It offers fade-free performance, sophisticated damping, and exceptional durability. For riders seeking a high-performance air shock, the Float X provides an ideal balance of sensitivity, support, and efficiency. (theloamwolf.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n DHX: Unmatched Traction with Coil Suspension<\/strong><\/p>\n For those who prefer coil suspension, the DHX delivers unparalleled traction and ground-hugging performance, further enhanced with the new internals. Coil shocks offer incredible small-bump sensitivity and consistency on long descents. For many aggressive trail riders, coil truly is king. (theloamwolf.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n Introducing Live Valve Neo: Instantaneous Adaptation<\/strong><\/p>\n The Live Valve Neo system represents a significant leap in suspension technology. Utilizing a proprietary wireless protocol developed by Fox’s mechatronics team, Live Valve Neo reacts to terrain changes in just one millisecond, far faster than a rider could respond manually. This system automatically adjusts the rear shock between firm and open modes based on terrain, using onboard sensors and a built-in controller. It replaces the previous wired Live Valve system with a fully wireless, faster-responding design. (theloamwolf.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n Compatibility and Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n The Live Valve Neo system is currently available for the Float X Live Valve Neo (air shock) and DHX Live Valve Neo (coil shock). It’s compatible with most modern trail and enduro bikes, though frame clearance and mounting space for sensors and the battery must be considered. (rmcycles.co.uk<\/a>)<\/p>\n Pricing and Models<\/strong><\/p>\n The updated Float X and DHX shocks, including their Live Valve Neo variants, are available in various models, each tailored to different rider preferences and needs. For detailed pricing and model specifications, please refer to Fox’s official website.<\/p>\n With these advancements, Fox continues to push the boundaries of suspension technology, offering riders a more responsive and adaptable riding experience across trail and all-mountain terrains.<\/p>\n
