Fox Float X2 vs Float DPX2 (What's Different & What's Better?)
When it comes to the mountain bike rear shock game, there are only a few real players. Among them is the behemoth know as Fox Shox. There has been an …
Fox Float X2 or Float DPX2 – Which would you pick? Let us know!
My 160mm travel FS 29er has a DPX2 on it and it feels amazing!!
Which shock is better for a heavy guy? Riders close to 300lbs or more?
Tons of complaints that the dpx2 isn't supple at all and the x2 blows through its travel unless you have a really progressive curve
Building a 2017 CC Santa Cruz 5010 I long shocked the front with a 160mm fox 36 as for the rear I’m still trying to decide either one of these. Traditionally it was a smaller travel bike but now it’s 160 at the front as well as the riding I plan to do with it , I’m leaning more towards the x2 !
X2 all the way
Sort your hair out mate
Awesome content 🍿
would a float X2 fit in place of a DHX 5.0?
I’m considering upgrading from a 2015 Monarch plus rc3. Was leaning towards a DVO topaz t3. But also considering the DPX2. Which is better?
You couldn't get a more informative and succinct comparison. Great review. I'd prefer a dpx2 on my Whyte S-150 for simplicity and weight, but I'll have to stick with the Rockshox Deluxe until the prices come down to under £400 to the UK.
I have the dpx2 on my enduro bike and I think that it handles big hits better than the x2. Just my opinion
Anyone else just staring at the computer in the left
Please keep the inch, feet, rock or whatever America failed at outa here, arent you worldwide.
Before I used to think "why does loads of high end bikes have a fox 34 suspension" then when I tested one on my dads friends bike I realized why everyone likes it
What's the difference between the Fox performance evol re:aktv and dps that comes in Trek?
The fox float X2 now comes in metric size 210 by 50 mm which equals 140 mm rear travel
Why did I watch this? I ride a hardtail
Blog could be updated, there is now a 185×55 X2. I'm thinking about it for my Giant trance but it seems pretty wild and ill advised.
Which one is for 2018 Santacruz nomad? I need one thanks
Do you know anyone running the X2 on the SB130? I'm thinking about doing it now that 210×55 is available
Fox float X2 now comes in metric sizes 210 by 50 mm
i've read on forums MTBR/Pinkbike that the DPX2 is better for heavier riders (200 LBS +) since the X2 PSI limit is too low to reach proper sag for Clydesdale riders.
any truth to this?
Great review and Gene rules!!😝
I see video
I get super excited that I can afford the shock
I go on google
I look who’s selling it
I start to buy it
I then realize I have a hard tail
I get sad
Great video really helped thanks
Great video. I'm sweating the Fox Float X2 for my Nomad 4 😉
Fox offers new metric sizes for year 2020 they are as follows 210 by 50 mm 210 by 55 mm
They are ng both great but x2 is like a secret weapon waiting to be unleashed when fine tuned, burlier rear shock is the best
Love the x2
Very accurate explanation, thx! ✌🏽 I heard the Fox guyz saying in a Syndicate video, that bigger shafts are also stiffer (😜) especially in comparaison with coil shox. Could that make a difference in how the flex of the frame feels in cornering and/or liveliness on rough terrain with these two shox here? It probably also changes how poppy a bike feels. Personal preference should be one most key factors here, as one rider may not like the trail to feel as dampened as another.
This channel is absolutely amazing!!!
As a rule of thumb you'd have to say that the dpx2 is xc to trail and the x2 is enduro to dh. I can imagine that some specific suspension mechanics could require a specific variation to the rule. I'd like to see a coil comparison discussion (personally my thinking is stick with air for xc to trail).
