Fox Racing DHX Live Valve Neo Shock

The system uses sensors at both wheels to monitor terrain in real-time, automatically adjusting your compression damping in milliseconds. This means the shock stays firm for efficient pedaling on climbs and instantly opens up for maximum traction and plushness when the trail gets rough, removing the need to manually flip levers.

Yes. While the Live Valve Neo handles the automated damping, you still have manual control over low-speed compression and rebound settings. The dedicated mobile app allows you to fine-tune these parameters to match your specific riding style and terrain preferences.

No, this specific model uses a Trunnion mount. You must verify that your frame is designed for a Trunnion-mounted shock and that the eye-to-eye length and stroke match your bike's manufacturer specifications before purchasing.

The hydraulic top-out feature manages the shock's extension at the end of its stroke. It prevents harsh 'clunking' or abrupt stops when the suspension fully extends, resulting in a smoother, more controlled feel during jumps or when the rear wheel leaves the ground.

Coil shocks are generally more consistent and less sensitive to temperature changes than air shocks, but they do require you to select the correct spring rate for your body weight. Once the proper spring is installed, maintenance is straightforward, though you will need to ensure the electronic components remain clean and the battery is charged.

The MCU (Micro-Cellular Urethane) bumper acts as a final cushion at the very end of the shock's travel. It provides a progressive ramp-up that helps prevent harsh bottoming out when you hit large drops or square-edged obstacles, protecting both the shock and your frame.
