What is the best air pressure for trial riding with the fox float 3 front shocks

This question is difficult for anyone to answer. We all have different abilities and preferences. I personally dont like them. These are snowcross shocks and best suited for snowcross not for trail riding that i prefer. My rookie mistake when i purchased the sled not knowing how harsh the ride would be. In my opinion they are angry and a harsh ride even with light air pressure.

I run mine at around 63 pounds. Most guys I know that have them run them between 60 and 70. It just depends how much you want to feel the bumps in the handlebars.

I agree that 63 lbs is a good starting point. I added the Hygear Dual Pressure air reservoirs and now run the Float 3's at 67 lbs. Much better ride.
