fox air shocks

[Piker450]

just got a new magizine that had fox air shocks for less than $700. i race the woods. any input. i think stock shocks doesn't work well. and i need something to help me corner or just turn better

[drgnerth]

They are $650 from motosport.com. I'm gonna get some in a month or 2.

Is that standard travel?

[Piker450]

yes that is standard travel. the ones on natalie's quad cost $1250. but im wanting to know about the fox float shocks. somebody has to have a set. just checking to see if there any good?

[iceracer17]

Just got mine, so no feedback yet.I'll let you know.

[drgnerth]

Are they comp and rebound adjustable? It says they are on the websit but want to know for sure.

[iceracer17]

Not the floats,just preload with the air pressure.The high end shocks are fully adjustable though.

[JDiablo]

Do they have a rear air shock yet or just the spring one?

[JDiablo]

TTT

[Jersey450R]

just the spring one.

[Piker450]

Just something to chew on,what happens when you blow one of those air shocks? Do they loose their support? Does your Quad fall down on one side?I wouldnt want that to happen in the middle of a race or even a long ride.I know from experiance when you blow a standard shock you can finish the race or make it home from the ride,the spring still holds you up.Sure Natilie wins on them ,but how often do his shocks get serviced?Quite often I bet.Im sticking with my Elkas.

there is still spring in the shcok. instead of oil and nitrogen it just uses air as a dampener. so it would be like having a blown out elka/axis etc.... my bos has them on his snow mobile and he said that they beat the ohlins his 2004 had... i know its a snow mobile but ohlins arent ****ty shocks so i guess they are good

I run a set of Fox Floats on my Raptor. I LOVE them! I mostly ride trails also. So far they have been great. They are silky smooth. I've hit stumps, logs, and rocks and they soak it up well. I could not be more happy with my purchase.

I bought them from motosport.com I highly recommend them!

I have been running the floats on the Raptor for a year with no problems. The are +2 arms and use the standard length shocks. I had Works on there before that these are way smoother and lighter.

I just got the Float X Evols on the YFZ and love them. They are the best shox I have ever ridden. My buddy has Custom Axis with the same arms and we both know that they work better and offer a way smoother ride. He wants to sell his shocks and get some Foxs.
