Fox Racing Shox Float SL Factory Remote Up Metric - LV Shock

The Fox Float SL shock is the most compact and lightest model ever designed by FOX, developed specifically for Cross-Country (XC) racers and riders looking to save every gram. Featuring redesigned compression and rebound valves, it delivers superior pneumatic grip and consistent damping on descents. Paired with the EVOL air chamber and its 3-position lever, the Float SL ensures maximum power transfer with every pedal stroke.
