CLIMB WITH CONVICTION.
DESCEND WITH DETERMINATION.

The all-new FLOAT answers the demands of the modern trail rider; a firm pedal platform for uphill efficiency and confidence-inducing, trail-hugging descent capability, all in a lightweight package.

Performance Series FLOAT shocks have fewer adjustments than Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range) and have black anodized air sleeve and body instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.

EVOLVED FOR MODERN TRAIL RIDERS

Trail riders seek a shock with the performance of a Float X but with lightweight capability like that found in the Float SL. Yet there is nothing middle-of-the-road about FLOAT. With its large volume EVOL air spring, riders can run their shock at lower air pressures for a more linear feel throughout the stroke. This results in smoother small bump performance, better grip at the tires and a shock that will not overheat on the demanding descents.

RIDE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Optimizing suspension for trail riding means creating a firm platform for pedaling and climbing efficiency without penalizing descending performance. With bolstered valving and an oversized Internal Floating Piston (IFP) the remote-compatible FLOAT offers a wider range of tuning and enhanced damping control​ that approaches the descending performance of the FLOAT X. All this while keeping to a more compact and lightweight package. Whether hitting high-vert days or tackling a multi-day epic, FLOAT is the definitive shock for the Trail category.

TRAIL VERSATILITY IN A XC PACKAGE

FLOAT's inline design does not just keep the weight down (160 grams lighter than FLOAT X and just 60 grams heavier than the featherweight FLOAT SL, in 190 x 45mm size), it provides a greater range of fitment for trail bike frames. Designed without the need for a piggyback reservoir, FLOAT also leaves more clearance for water bottle cages and is compatible with a wider range of eMTB frames.
