CLIMB WITH CONVICTION. DESCEND WITH DETERMINATION.
The all-new FLOAT meets the demands of the modern trail rider, offering a firm pedal platform for uphill efficiency and confidence-inducing, trail-hugging descent capability, all in a lightweight package.
EVOLVED FOR MODERN TRAIL RIDERS
Trail riders seek the performance of a Float X with the lightweight capability of the Float SL. The FLOAT delivers with its large volume EVOL air spring, allowing riders to run their shock at lower air pressures for a more linear feel throughout the stroke. This results in smoother small bump performance, better tire grip, and a shock that remains cool even on demanding descents.
RIDE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Optimizing suspension for trail riding means creating a firm platform for pedaling and climbing efficiency without sacrificing descending performance. With enhanced valving and an oversized Internal Floating Piston (IFP), the remote-compatible FLOAT offers a wider range of tuning and improved damping control, approaching the descending performance of the FLOAT X. All this while maintaining a compact and lightweight package. Whether tackling high-vert days or multi-day epics, the FLOAT is the definitive shock for the trail category.
TRAIL VERSATILITY IN A XC PACKAGE
The FLOAT's inline design keeps the weight down (160 grams lighter than the FLOAT X and just 60 grams heavier than the FLOAT SL in 190 x 45mm size) and provides a greater range of fitment for trail bike frames. Designed without the need for a piggyback reservoir, the FLOAT leaves more clearance for water bottle cages and is compatible with a wider range of eMTB frames.
