Fox floats PSI,What do you run

[aceltx09]

We just had the shocks rebuilt (PIONEER) for my buddies 06 Apex RTX. What do you guys run for pressure in them and what is your riding style,aggressive. I really like them but I don't like that they have to be adjusted with no weight on them,gonna be a pain in the #*$&@ on the trail. Think we will start at 100psi and go down in from there,I guess it will be easyier to take the air out then put it in on the side of trail.

I never run anymore than 60psi in mine and the wifes is 50psi aggressive trail riding.

 

[RtxViper]

me to never run over 60 psi with aggressive trail riding

The final pressure you end up with is going to depend on what you've got going on in your rear suspension. The more popular plan I've seen to answer this question (rather than quoting specific pressure amounts) is run whatever it takes to level your a-arms. This should give you an exellent place to start (no matter the pressure it takes to do that), if not THE best place to run for aggressive trail... even not so aggressive trail....

To illustrate the point regarding the dependance on what you have going on in the rear suspension, with all the changes I've made, I run closer to 45psi than 60 to level my arms...

Betting you'll REALLY like these shocks if you had them revalved!

I'll second that!

After my 136 ZX-2 install and tall stance, I had to raise up my air pressure to level out my front end.
60 lbs is a good starter, but I found it a bit on the high side with stock suspension since I like to maintain a low centre of gravity for aggressive riding. I also installed a 13mm sway bar to flatten the softness out.

You have to adjust them for temperture so you can ballpark them now but in the cold is best. I ran mine at 50lbs where the a arms were level with a 13mm sway bar and nextech cans ~ perfect for me.

50 psi here, with fett 2 canisters and the 13 mm. swaybar. Love it!

 

[mbarclay]

50 psi last year with everything stock to get the a arms level....now I have a expert x and 13mm sway bar so im not sure what its going to be probably closer to 60 now

 

[ScottyD]

i had mine revalved and with the 13mm swaybar i run them at 50psi

 

[aceltx09]

Yes I ndid have them revalved by pioneer, 50-60 seems to be what everyone is running I will start with them leveling the a-arms and go from there.

Trail-side adjustments aren't that hard - provided you can get the cap off of the air valve. Just tip the sled on it's side to remove the load on the shock, then flip to the other side.

I run 55psi with the front end off the ground I set it up after so with me on the sled the A arms are parallel "level across" with the floor this keeps the ski.s at their widest for the most stability
