• Designed for Fox Float X2 and DHX2 (2026+ Monotube shocks).
• Fits the mid-valve nut interface.
• Standard 20 mm sockets can work, but are often not included in typical ratchet kits.
• This tool provides a purpose-built alternative for consistent results.

Most users don’t have a 20 mm socket available and end up estimating torque using pliers or adjustable tools. This leads to inconsistent preload on a very sensitive internal assembly.

The X2 platform uses a VVC (Variable Valve Control) system that relies on precise mid-valve nut torque.

• Specified torque: 9 Nm
• Required pull (with scale): ~5.75 kg / 12 lb
• Improper torque can affect high-speed rebound damping behavior
• Chamferless design ensures full engagement and consistent torque transfer
• Snug fit with < 0.1 mm play

This tool removes guesswork and avoids the common “pliers estimate” mistake.

• < 0.1 mm play for tight engagement
• Chamferless geometry for full contact on the nut
• Reduces risk of slipping or uneven torque application

Designed specifically for controlled torque work on high-tolerance internals.

• Drive: 3/8" square drive
• Torque spec (9 Nm) marked directly on the tool
• Compatible with standard torque wrenches

Alternative torque method:

• Use with our 3D-printable two-sided pin socket wrench
• Apply ~5.75 kg / 12 lb using a luggage scale
• Download the wrench here

Allows accurate torque application without a torque wrench.
