Which FOX DHX2 shocks is this shaft clamp compatible with?

The Fox DHX2 2021–2025 Small Shaft Clamp is compatible exclusively with FOX DHX2 rear shocks from model years 2021 to 2025 — specifically the generation with the lockout lever on the piggyback reservoir and the high-speed rebound adjuster located on the eyelet. It is not compatible with 2016–2020 DHX2 shocks or the 2026+ monotube DHX2 design. Riders with those variants should select the corresponding year-specific clamp from the Shockwave Parts catalog.

How does a model-specific shaft clamp differ from a universal vise jaw or generic clamp?

Generic vise jaws and universal clamps use standardized bore diameters that introduce clearance on precision shafts, allowing movement and increasing the risk of shaft damage during high-torque operations like eyelet removal. The Fox DHX2 2021–2025 Small Shaft Clamp is bored to match the exact 2021–2025 DHX2 shaft diameter at a tolerance of 0.01 mm, eliminating that clearance. This makes it purpose-built for shock service rather than a general workshop workaround.

What is the correct technique for using the Fox DHX2 2021–2025 Small Shaft Clamp without damaging the damper shaft?

Clean the shaft thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol — more than once — to remove all oil and contamination, which is the primary cause of slipping. Wrap the cleaned shaft in dry paper towel before inserting it into the clamp to maximize friction. Clamp evenly without overtightening; this tool is intended for home-mechanic service use and over-torquing can damage the shaft.

Does Shockwave Parts ship the Fox DHX2 2021–2025 Small Shaft Clamp to Canada, and what are the shipping costs?

Yes, Shockwave Parts ships from Canada. Tracked domestic shipping starts at $8.49 CAD with a maximum of $14.99 CAD, and orders over $89 CAD qualify for free shipping within Canada. Orders are processed fast and ship within 1 business day.

What else do I need to fully service a FOX DHX2 2021–2025 shock, and does this clamp come as part of a kit?

The Fox DHX2 2021–2025 Small Shaft Clamp is sold individually at $21 USD, but Shockwave Parts also offers the Fox DHX2 2021–2025 Full Rebuild Kit, which bundles this clamp with the other required service tools at a lower combined price. Purchasing the kit is the recommended approach for riders performing a full shock rebuild.

Fox DHX2 2021–2025 Shaft Clamp (Small Shaft)

Clamp designed specifically for the small damper shaft used on FOX DHX2 shocks from 2021 to 2025.

This generation features the lockout lever on the piggyback (not on the compression lever), and the high-speed rebound adjuster on the eyelet.

What this tool does

This clamp is designed to grip the small DHX2 damper shaft securely in a bench vise during service operations, mainly when removing or reinstalling the eyelet. The internal bore is precisely matched to the 2021–2025 DHX2 shaft diameter, with tolerances down to 0.01 mm.

2021–2025 DHX2 only, not compatible with 2016–2020 or the new 2026+ monotube DHX2

Important setup & usage instructions

Clamping small shafts requires extra care. Incorrect preparation is the main cause of slipping and clamp failure.

Clean the shaft thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol (more than once)
Never clamp a dry, oily, or contaminated shaft
Wrap the shaft with dry paper towel to maximize friction
Clamp evenly, do not overtighten
