X2 / DHX2 (2026+) Mid-Valve Torque Socket

A dedicated chamferless socket for the mid-valve nut on 2026+ Fox Float X2 and DHX2 (Monotube platform). Designed to enable precise 9 Nm torque application using a 3/8" torque wrench or a lugage-scale setup with zero chance of damaging the shock.

Important Compatibility Info
  • 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.
Why This Tool Exists

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.

Precision Fit
  • < 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 & Tool Options
  • 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.
