FLOAT SL

FEATHERWEIGHT PERFORMANCE

FLOAT SL inherits the internals of its FLOAT AND FLOAT X siblings then streamlined to save every gram possible. A remote or 3-positon switch lets riders toggle between open, medium and firm mode settings for the most efficient power transfer from the pedals. Whether tackling World Cup XCO courses or full-day marathon races, FLOAT SL offers higher performance and a wider range of tuneability than previously seen in lightweight MTB shocks.

OPTIMIZED TO RACE

With a proven EVOL air spring and a form factor to fit a wider variety of XC and Trail bikes, FLOAT SL offers the ultimate suspension efficiency for riders pushing their potential. Race entry fees not included.

Float SL is available in small volume (SV) and large volume (LV) variants. SV designed to perform best on shorter travel XC bikes whereas LV will suit broader set of frames.*

*If you are unsure about whether LV or SV variants of FLOAT SL best suit your needs, please contact FOX customer service.

“Factory” says it all – feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of our Factory-level riders. What we sell is what they race. Factory Series products feature slippery smooth, ultra-durable Genuine Kashima Coat.
