FOX FLOAT X CTD (2014–2017)  Rebuild Manual

The FOX FLOAT X CTD from 2014–2017 shares many similarities with the DPX2 in terms of internal layout and rebuild process. However, there are a few specific notes and critical warnings to keep in mind when servicing this model.

Note: DPX2 shown in the pictures, but the procedure is very similar.

 General Notes

  • Same general bleed and rebuild procedure as the FOX DPX2
  • FOX's official manual does not show the hand bleed method, refer to the DPX2 procedure for that
  • Most issues with compression or lockout are caused by incorrect oil volume, IFP pressure, or air trapped in the damper, not by faulty adjusters
  • Do not open the adjusters unless they are leaking or you're revalving, most issues are resolved by a proper rebuild

 Included Tools in the Kit

Pellet Retainer Tip: This shock requires a pellet retainer tool for needle-style IFP pressurisation. You can make one yourself with a Dremel and a 4 mm Allen key, it’s much cheaper than buying one.

 Trunnion Mount Warning

⚠️ Important: If your FLOAT X CTD is trunnion-mounted, you must use a Trunnion Shock Vise Holder. Clamping the shock body can damage threads or crack the casting. Torque spec for shaft nut is ~10 Nm max.

 IFP Fill and Pressurization

 This shock requires a needle-style IFP fill adapter. It does not use a threaded Schrader-style valve.
  • Some shocks have some small plastic balls in the 4mm allen hex holes
  • Drill a very shallow hole into the plastic ball plug, do not go too deep
  • Use a sharp pick or scribe to remove the ball
  • Use your needle fill adapter to safely release and refill the damper with air

 Specs

  • IFP Depth: 1.35"
  • IFP Pressure: 150 psi
  • Damper Oil: Originally FOX 10wt Red (now discontinued); use any modern 10wt oil like 10wt Green

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • Always release spring pressure from the air can before opening the out air can.
    • If it gets sucked down because you released too fast, just reinflate the shock and go in 25psi steps and equalize the chambers each time.
  • Then release damper pressure using the correct needle fill adapter
  • Never open the bleed screw or damper body while pressurized
  • Bleed port screws can eject violently, a guy I know unscrewed the bleed screw without releasing the pressure and it went INTO a wall, yes, in the wall.
  • If unsure, do not attempt this service. This is a high-pressure system.

 Disclaimers

These procedures are intended for experienced home mechanics only. Improper handling of pressurized suspension components can result in serious injury or equipment damage. By continuing, you agree to our terms of service and assume full responsibility for any service performed.
