Fox floats on R based hybrid?

[Derrick Adams]

Anyone running these? Never seen an R with floats before.

[gsxr68]

they do not make them for hybrids but a guy in georgia modded a set to fit his laeger hybrid on a t-pin.

pretty sure J-Spawn had a set on one of his hybrids.

The first(and i im pretty sure only) Walsh hybrid with fox evols. I dont really have any good pics of it, but heres a couple. They work very good, but right now im back to running axis to match my other quads.

It is pretty simple to figure out.

Take extended and compressed lengths of the a-arm spacing and find one made for a current quad that fits. I have Evols on my Cannondale with Walsh arms and just took the measurements and found they cross referenced perfectly with a 450r with a Gibson front end.

Take measurements of your setup and call up Fox they will be able to give you the length and stroke that would work.

I have a hybrid with a 250r chassis and i have custom axis triple rates but i put his fox floats off his trx450r and i couldnt get them to adjust right alothough they may have been the wrong length, they look sick though

Those evols look a little long for that walsh bike. I like the axis better.. just me though.

Most be the angle of the pic, they are built to the correct specs;)

I have Fox Floats..non-rezzie on my Houser CRF. The are coupled with +2 Houser a-arms. They seem to work well. I think my frame is 400ex geo though...

this is my roll design lobo hybrid with ktm 250f in it with fox floats;)

go to fite racing cole ran fox floats on a lsr 250r with a cr125 motor in it and it rocked in the worcs race series

just my 2 cents

[racernorris]

just because they are the right extended and compressed length, does not mean they are valved for the exact leverage ratio and motion ratio that your hybrid has.

when fox (and most shock manufacturers) engineers receive a set of a-arms from a after market a-arm company, they install the a-arms in a frame jig and run the a-arm through its travel to determine the correct leverage and motion ratio (to determine proper valving, bleed ports, pistons, rebound orifice size, ect...).

i custom modify shocks for customers every day, the chance that a shock manufacturer has a shock for a production quads that is perfect for you hybrid.........well......lets play the lottery, you will have better odds with the lottery!!!!!!

I had a hybrid with the 250r chassis with a yz426f motor and i had Houser plus 3 a arms with 18.5" long fox floats and they worked great! the floats were from a honda trx450 but i had to put washers to take up some gap where they bolt on,but i never had any problems

[Derrick Adams]

Well, i'm going to take my bike to Houser this winter and see if they will order me the correct ones. I'm running their +3 arms on my bike now with 19.25" shocks.
