Levo Gen 2 Upgrade Levo Fox Float X2 2021

[diogo282828]

Hello all,

I've just upgrade my shock to a fox float x2 2021.
Need a bit of help with it.
I dialed in the settings on the shock exactly per fox recommended setup. 210 psi for a 25%sag, I'm 158lbs/72kg. The shock behaves in the initial part of the stroke strangely, or at least very differently than my rockshox that came with the bike. There's a noticeable bump/harshness, It's like there s a groove that the shock needs to overcome in the beginning of the stroke. Pedaling through flat trails with roots and rocks the bike give this bumpinesss to the stroke. It's sort of threshold it n overcomes the come into the nice part of the stroke. I thought the shock was completely off, maybe faulty. I backed the low speed compression and rebound all the way, and it disappears. Right now I have 2 clocks of compression and rebound. I can still feel the bump slightly. High speed is per fox settings and I'm OK with it. 2 volume spacers. So long story short, is this feeling normal? It doesn't feel it. It's very weird. Give me your feedback guys.
Having a har time finding info on this shock for emtb. Thank you.

I have mine at about 30% sag and start from there.just make sure all the adjusters are full open before setting the sag.

1. The pressure sounds high for your weight.
2. With 2 volume spacers you would probably be better off with 30% SAG ( your pressure would also then be c 190? )
3. Reduce high speed compression to 1 or open and increase low speed compression to 5

Do you know what tune the shock has been set at?
What bike/stroke?

For comparison.
I am 80kg ( probably 85kg in riding gear) and my pressure is 230 SAG is set at 30%
Settings ( back from closed) LSR 4 HSR 3 LSC 7 HSC 5
Tune: Compression, Rebound, and Reservoir compression all Medium.
2 volume spacers.

Hi,
Concerning pressure your probably right.
Concerning tune, I really don't know. The shock is a 210 with 55 stroke. I really don't know where it's stated the tune.

You can look at the code on the shock body and enter it on the Fox site to see the tune you got.

Agreed on the pressure. I am 190 lbs and was running 210 PSI on my Levo/X2 setup when I had it. Personally I run the X2 on the softer side with 3 volume spacers to get it plush in the beginning stroke and still avoid harsh bottom outs.

How do your guys with the X2 on a Levo like it? Its on my list of possible shocks for upgrading.

I'm 230lbs and run 290psi with 28%sag and 2 spacers. It's super smooth and absorbs big hits and drops like butter. I did use a shockwiz to dial it in ?
