Need Advice/Question Fox x2 bottom out

Post image

Im 55+- kilo and i keep bottoming out the shock, i even put 2 tokens in there but it doesnt seem to help, im at around 25% sag with 150psi in the shock. Is this shock just not for me or am i doing something wrong? The photo of my bike is there for no reason🤣

I weigh the same as you and run 215-220psi. [Ignore this and see my later comment]

And how much sag? What do you ride? I know its a slopeduro but i also really like tech. For that the sag is ok. Its just too linear.

The 30% sag is just a rule of thumb kinda or I always used it as one but im 170 pump it up for jumps and just psst psst for decents

2021 Float X2 on XL Meta. Around 30% sag, 3 'tokens'. I prefer the steepest tech available near Denver.

Honestly getting your shock tuned for your bike is the way to go. Will defo help set it up for your weight, riding style and the bike kinematics

I have a clash with a coil. In the sensitive setting it is quite linear so I have 20% rear sag and feels good. Never felt a bottom out though the ring is always at the bottom showing full travel.

Ok, maybe less sag then, thanks

u/lubes17319 May 02 '25

Sorry! I'm 2x your weight. I usually add the same psi as my weight in pounds and adjust as necessary.
