I like the look of their new float X's with fully adjustable rezzies. One big advantage they have is being light weight due to no springs.

I don’t know how they perform on quads but on my mountain bike they were incredible… The problem is there really aren’t many people riding these shox from what I can find so there really isn’t much feedback yet.

I didn't see the rezzies on any of the Float advertisements?

I ended up buying Axis but before I decided on them I called Fox and asked them a couple of questions... The main advantage of the Fox is it's lightweight and the second advantage is quick ride height adjustments. The price isn't too great either and they didn't have a clue as to a Long travel shock for a Z400.

No precise compression or rebound adjustments and if you can adjust it, it will change with the ride height. Durability seems pretty good as snowcats have been running them awhile but I asked about who is authorized to work on them as was told the Factory.

I added some extra weight and got all the adjustment I need with Custom Axis LT. I still have to setup my front suspension the proper way and rear preload height but so far I like it and it was worth all the money!

They just introduced the ones with fully adjustable rezzies, they're call Float X's. I'm not sure if they are offered for quads yet but they're out for snowmobiles.
