Fox DHX2 Factory

While the DHX2 is engineered for gravity-oriented riding like downhill and enduro, the two-position lever makes it surprisingly versatile. It allows you to firm up the shock for climbing or smoother trail sections, though it remains a coil-sprung shock designed primarily for maximum traction and small-bump sensitivity.

A trunnion mount attaches directly to the shock body via two bolts on the top of the shock, rather than using a standard eyelet and bushing. You must ensure your bike frame is specifically designed for a trunnion-mount shock, as it is not interchangeable with standard eyelet-mount frames.

The DHX2 offers extensive adjustability, including high- and low-speed compression and high- and low-speed rebound. This allows you to fine-tune the shock's behavior for specific trail conditions, rider weight, and personal preference, making it ideal for riders who want precise control over their suspension setup.

No, the Fox DHX2 Factory typically ships as the shock body only. You will need to purchase a compatible coil spring separately, ensuring you select the correct spring rate for your body weight and riding style.

The signature gold Kashima coating is more than just an aesthetic choice; it is a specialized surface treatment that significantly reduces friction. This results in smoother suspension movement, better small-bump sensitivity, and increased durability over the life of the shock.

The Advanced Rod Valve System (RVS) provides a more seamless transition between small-bump compliance and big-hit support. It helps the shock react more predictably to varying terrain, giving you more consistent damping and control when riding at high speeds.
