Electronics and high performance in the new Fox Float X2 Live Valve Neo

Fox takes a new step forward in the development of Gravity suspensions with the launch of the FLOAT X2 Live Valve Neo. This model combines the high-level mechanical performance characteristic of the FLOAT X2 with the quick response of the Live Valve Neo electronic system, resulting in a setup aimed at improving traction, control, and speed on the terrain. 

FLOAT X2 Live Valve Neo, a new benchmark for Enduro and Downhill

In disciplines like Enduro or Downhill, terrain conditions can change in an instant. The new FOX FLOAT X2 Live Valve Neo arrives to adapt to that pace by using Live Valve Neo technology, which analyzes both the terrain and the cyclist's actions up to 400 times per second.

With an actuation speed close to 1/70 of a second, the shock absorber automatically modifies its compression circuit based on what happens during the ride. This operation allows for:

• Maintaining maximum efficiency during pedaling or acceleration phases
• Ensuring traction in technical areas or steep slopes
• Continuously adjusting behavior without the need for manual intervention

The FLOAT X2 Live Valve Neo is designed to provide a feeling of continuous control, even in demanding conditions. It achieves this thanks to its monotube construction, which enhances durability and maintains consistent performance even during prolonged descents, along with the extra support it now receives from the Neo electronic system.

Customization without limits

However, the electronic integration does not replace the cyclist's adjustments; it acts as a complement. For this purpose, the system incorporates 7 positions in Firm Mode, allowing the determination of stiffness levels when the system is closed. Additionally, the shock absorber maintains compression and rebound adjustments, both at high and low speeds, allowing for detailed mechanical tuning.

Through the specific mobile application, users can select from different riding profiles or configure custom settings, adapting the suspension behavior to their riding style. 

Specifications and price of the new FLOAT X2 Live Valve Neo

FOX offers the new FLOAT X2 Live Valve in two versions, one wireless, which uses the same battery as the other Neo products, and another wired version, for eMTB, which connects directly to the bike's main battery. The wired variant is compatible with Bosch, DJI, and TQ motors.
