FOX FLOAT Air Shaft Assembly

Yes, this assembly is designed specifically to adjust the travel of your fork. However, you must ensure the new travel length is compatible with your specific fork chassis and wheel size to avoid clearance issues.

Compatibility is determined by the stanchion diameter and the specific fork model series. This assembly is built for 34mm stanchions, so verify your fork's model year and series to ensure it matches the internal architecture required.

Installing an air shaft requires basic suspension service tools, including a socket set, a torque wrench, and suspension-specific oil. If you are comfortable performing a lower-leg service, this is a manageable upgrade, but consult your fork's service manual for the exact procedure.

Changing your travel will alter the geometry of your bike and the progression of the suspension. A shorter travel setup typically makes the bike feel more responsive and steeper, while longer travel increases stability on rougher descents.

It is highly recommended. Since you are already opening the fork to access the air spring, it is the perfect time to replace the seals and refresh the suspension fluid to ensure the fork operates as smoothly as possible.
