Use this setup guide in

conjunction with your FOX Racing

Shox literature to achieve the

optimum performance from your

suspension system ....

Tekin Suspension is dedicated to constant

evolution in the performance of mountain bike

suspension. The ethos of Tekin Suspension is

simple: to provide the utmost level of support

and uncompromised servicing of FOX Racing

Shox products.

The roots of Tekin Suspension are competitive

mountain biking. The services offered by

Tekin Suspension have been developed to

achieve the highest level of performance

from FOX products, used at the highest level

of competition.

This technology provides velocity and position-sensitive

damping that can be designed into the beginning of

the stroke, the end of the stroke, or both at the same

time. The ProPedal® system provides maximum

pedalling efficiency, traction, and square edge

performance, with the elimination of first strike

harshness when activated.

The FLOAT Series of lightweight, high-volume air shocks

continue their World Cup winning ways, with

revolutionary Boost Valve®. Boost Valve technology

was developed at the most demanding downhill courses

in the world, and optimized for cross-country and trail

bike use.

Rebound damping controls how quickly the

suspension returns after being compressed and

gives you a predictable and controlled ride, while

maintaining traction.

Assessing rebound by simply pushing on the

handle bars or seat does not indicate the

performance of the system in a dynamic

environment. Save your judgment of rebound

performance for a test section of trail.

Slower rebound

Faster rebound

REBOUND TOO FAST

REBOUND TOO SLOW

If rebound is too fast the bike will be

unstable while pedaling and riding

through shallow bumps. The unsettling

effect is noticed as your body weight is

pitched over the bike.

If rebound is too slow, there will be

insufficient recovery between bumps

to ensure successive bumps are

absorbed. Harshness will be noticed

on longer rough sections.

PROPEDAL

6

The ProPedal (PP) adjuster is a wide range low-

speed compression (LSC) adjuster. LSC damping

refers to the damper force generated at low

damper shaft speeds.

LSC damping (adjusted via the ProPedal adjuster)

provides resistance to the suspension being

compressed by rider induced movement. This

relates to pedalling forces, changes in mass

distribution, shallow and small bumps.

Firmer PP

Softer PP

Clockwise adjustment

Higher number

Counter clockwise adjustment

Lower number

PP TOO SOFT

Pedaling, changes in mass distribution,

small and shallow bumps will cause

excessive compression. A lack of

support is noticed as the suspension

uses excessive travel with minimal input

(wallow).

PP TOO FIRM

Small bump sensitivity and traction will

be compromised. A harsh ride and

loss of traction is noticed over loose

and rough terrain.

BOOST VALVE

7

The Boost Valve and velocity tune contribute to the

overall control of the compression stroke,

providing the high-speed compression (HSC)

damping characteristics.

The HSC damping characteristics of the

FLOAT RP23 can be tailored to your needs

via optimising the internal tunes....

Tuning considers rider weight and suspension

design, in selecting the appropriate Boost

Valve and velocity tunes, as well as selecting

the appropriate air spring curve and rebound

tune.

Tuning of the HSC damping characteristics is

indicated in situations of poor mid stroke

support (wallow), compression overshoot (lack

of support throughout the stroke) and

excessive bottom-out.

HSC damping refers to the damper force

generated at high damper shaft speeds; it

provides resistance to the suspension being

compressed quickly and relates to landings, large

and square edge bumps.

Routine maintenance greatly

improves the performance and

longevity of your FOX Racing
