COMPRESSION ADJUST
FOX FLOAT DPS: 3-POSITION LEVER
There’s a 3 position on-the-fly (remote lever) adjustment on
the Exie. The settings are
Open-Medium-Firm.
The
Open
mode is the tunable one and allows you to fine tune the low
speed compression damping. That enables you to adjust
the mode that you use most often, then have the preset
Medium
and Firm modes if you want to firm things up for
fire road climbing or pavement.
Start in the
OPEN
position and adjust clockwise from there
to counteract bob or increase damping control.
Open mode adjust*
is useful to control shock performance during rider weight shifts, G-outs,
and slow inputs.
Open mode adjust provides 3 additional fine tuning adjustments for the
OPEN
mode.
Lift the open mode adjuster, rotate it to the 1, 2, or 3 position, and press it in to lock the position.
It is recommended to make these adjustments with the 3-position lever in the Medium or Firm mode.
Setting 1 will have a more plush feel and setting 3 will have a firmer feel.

REBOUND ADJUST
The Float DPS has adjustable rebound damping. It’s
adjusted by turning the red dial on the inside of the lever.
Generally you want it as fast as you can set it without
getting bounced off the saddle after a bump or drop (like
riding off a curb in the saddle.) If the rebound setting is
too slow the shock will be partially compressed when you
hit the next bump resulting in “packing down”. Too fast and
the bike will bounce you up in the air after bumps and drops.
Adjust to your preference.
