Add External Low-Speed Compression Adjustment to Selected FOX FLOAT X and DHX Shocks.
This genuine FOX upgrade kit adds an external low-speed compression (LSC) adjuster to compatible Performance-series FLOAT X and DHX rear shocks. It gives riders a useful extra layer of setup control, allowing you to tune how the shock supports the bike through slower suspension movements such as berms, braking zones, steep compressions and pedalling forces.
It is the upgrade that brings a compatible Performance shock up to the same external LSC adjustment found on a Performance Elite model.
Choose the Correct Kit
- 808-17-470-KIT: Suits 2022–2026 FOX FLOAT X and DHX shocks.
- 808-17-697-KIT: Suits 2027 FOX FLOAT X and DHX shocks. Currently on order.
Why Add LSC Adjustment?
Low-speed compression is not about how fast you are riding. It refers to slower movements of the shock shaft. Adding this adjustment lets you fine-tune support and chassis stability without changing the shock’s air pressure or spring rate. It is particularly worthwhile for riders who want more control over how their bike sits in berms, under braking and through repeated trail chatter.
Before You Order
This kit is only for compatible Performance-series FOX FLOAT X and DHX shocks from the stated model years. Check your shock’s exact model and year before ordering, then follow the official FOX LSC upgrade installation procedure. If you are unsure, use your shock’s serial number or four-digit product code in the FOX Bike Tech Help Center before purchasing.
Our Thoughts
For the right shock, this is a worthwhile upgrade rather than a replacement. It gives you another useful setup adjustment without needing to buy a complete new rear shock. If you are already happy with the feel of your FLOAT X or DHX but want more support tuning, this is the sensible way to get it.
