This is the kit most riders need. It covers routine service: oil contamination, air ingestion, and bleed-related performance loss.

The X2 Seal Head Pin Socket is included and strongly recommended, the sealhead on this shock is torqued very tight, and one slip can cause serious damage. With the socket, no worries.

• Float X 2022+ Bleed Adapter (T8 bleed port)
• IFP Puller (2021+ X2 shocks)
• Graduated IFP Depth Tool
• DHX2 2026+ Hand Bleed Elbow
• X2 Seal Head Pin Socket (2026+)

With the hand bleed elbow, you can fully fill the damper tube horizontally and bleed the shock properly by hand, no vacuum pump or syringe required.

This version is for full teardown or revalving. Only choose this if you actually need to open the base valve or damper tube.

The stock tune on this shock has very little compression damping in many cases. Revalving may be required depending on your setup.

• Everything from the 200-hour kit
• 1/2" Shaft Clamp (monotube shaft)
• 12-Pin Base Valve Socket
• DHX2 2026+ Horizontal Shaft Clamp

If you only need to access the base valve, you can skip the shaft clamp and simply add the 12-pin base valve socket to your order.

We do not yet offer a tool for the lockout lever.

Do not mess with the VVC rebound system.

• Bench vise
• Shock oil + seal kit
• Syringe for bleeding (optional if hand bleed is done properly)

This allows accurate torque application even if you don’t have a torque wrench.

This shock is not a standard twin-tube DHX2 anymore.

Bleeding quality has a huge impact on performance. Poor bleed = no damping.

If you need to remove the eyelet, follow this procedure carefully:

How to use shaft clamps on small shafts

• Fully depressurize before opening
• Do not try to open the damper with an adjustable wrench
• Open the bleed port slowly
• Monotube systems can eject oil under pressure
• Do not proceed unless pressure is fully released
