Levo Gen 2 Fox 38 & X2 on Levo. What's your settings?

[KrisScott1990]

I ride a lot of steep/techy stuff. Such as the Golfie, Innerleithen.

On a 2020 Levo with Fox 38 Factory 170mm and Fox X2 210x55.

100kg rider.

What are you running? I'm finding it harsh and not much control for what I ride. Looking to hear that you ride and what you run and how you find it. Maybe help me dial it in the right direction

I'm similar settings but I reckon I won't ride my bike anywhere near as hard as you! But OK for the Lakes and the peak district.
Rider weight is around 96k
1 token
105 psi gives me around 34mm sag as recommended including the 10mm or so of sag from the bikes own weight
Lsc 7
Hsc 5
Lsr 8
Hsr 5
All out from closed.
There's to many variables for a one setting suits all.

I ride steep, technical terrain in the Pacific Northwest (US) and have been pretty happy with these settings. I played with them a little at first to get the right combo of suppleness, response, and support, and haven't messed with them since. That said, this setup might only work for me, but at least I hope the extra info helps.

I am using a similar setup with my Fox 38 Factory 180mm but run less air at 90 PSI. I don't really worry about SAG as rule but watch my stroke indicator on my fork to measure how much travel I am using. With 3 volume spacers, the fork feels supportive, doesnt bottom out, yet still uses 90% of its travel on the trails I ride. I use an Ohlins coil shock.
