![]() ![]() That black section on the shock body that looks like an add-on is exactly that, a slip-on sleeve that's held in place with a large C-clip to create an extremely long negative air spring. While the new damper updates are hidden inside the shock, the odd looking shape of the shock body is a dead giveaway that FOX has made some changes to the Float's air spring. Just like on the new 34, FOX has abandoned the CTD designation, which makes sense given the new damper layout, but they've also taken the old CTD's supplementary three-position compression setting that used to let riders tweak the Trail mode to their liking and reconfigured it to do the same thing but only in the Open mode. ![]() FOX says that this separation between Open/Medium and Firm modes allows the former two to perform even better, while the Firm mode can be set even stiffer without compromising how the shock behaves when it's left open. The two-piston layout allows FOX to separate the modes that riders use most often ( Open and Medium) by putting them on the main piston, while the Firm setting ( and its requirement to greatly block oil flow in order to function) is on the second piston. The design looks exactly as the name likely has you picturing it, with a larger piston overtop of its smaller brother. FOX's new DPS damper is all about letting you have your cake and eat it too. ![]()
