Fox Updates its Trail and All-Mountain Shocks with Incremental Improvements to the Float X and DHX

"According to Fox, the updates to the X-family shocks were made to bring X2-level (Fox's gravity line) performance to the lighter, smaller, and simpler trail-oriented platforms. For both the Float X and the DHX, Fox tells us they have 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."

"Some chase efficiency, some chase flow, some push their bikes as hard as possible. And that's exactly why FOX builds a full ecosystem of Trail suspension. Lightweight options, coil options, and smart suspension options. All designed to deliver performance without compromise."

Fox has updated its popular X-family suspension lineup for 2026, including the Float X air shock, DHX coil shock, and Live Valve Neo versions of both. While maintaining nearly identical external appearance to the 2022 originals, Fox implemented internal improvements with completely new base valves and main piston assemblies. The updated high-flow piston design approaches X2-level performance, delivering increased sensitivity, improved support, and better rear tire grip. Both shocks are available in standard eye-to-eye and stroke lengths, with optional Live Valve Neo wireless auto-adjusting suspension control. These updates aim to bring gravity-line performance to lighter, simpler trail-oriented platforms, offering riders four options to match their specific preferences and riding styles.
