Fox DHX2 2016–2020 Shaft Clamp (Small Shaft)

Designed specifically to clamp the small damper shaft found on Fox DHX2 shocks from 2016 to 2020.

The picture is the 2021–2025 generation. I forgot to take a picture when I did a 2016–2020 shock...

What It Does

This clamp is made to grip the small damper shaft securely in your bench vise during service, especially when removing or reinstalling the eyelet. The inner bore is perfectly matched to the diameter of the Fox DHX2 2016–2020 shaft, with tolerances down to 0.01 mm.

• Only fits 2016–2020 DHX2: it will not work with 2021–2025 or 2026+ new monotube versions.
• Made of reinforced PETG for strength and minimal risk of shaft damage.
• Internal ribs lock the shaft in place to prevent rotation under torque.
• 💡 Also works great for 2016–2020 Float X2 if you're using the no-eyelet-removal trick to open the damper. This avoids wear on your main 9mm X2 clamp and makes the small one last longer.

Important Setup Instructions

Clamping small shafts requires extra care. Always wrap the shaft in paper towel to maximize friction and avoid slippage. Never clamp dry or with oil on the surface. Always clean it well multiple times with isopropyl alcohol.
