Fox DHX 5.0/4.0 Coil Speed Sensitive DamperAdjuster Kit

This system has been discontinued

Replaces the ProPedal Adjuster with a low speed compression adjuster and a custom valved high speed piston system in the existing Fox piggyback housing. This conversion complements
the revalved main piston to completely convert the DHX/VanRC* to a true speed sensitive damper.

Includes custom valving and setup for rider, frame leverage and conditions, and printed set-up chart.

Also includes complete rebuild service, new improved seals and dust wiper system, oil, nitrogen charge and typical wear parts* included in price

*(Typical wear parts: shaft seal, dust scraper, shaft bushing, reducer DU bushings, and o-rings)

Includes Set-Up Chart

Optional:

Choice of Reservoir Volume Expansion Kit: modified reservoir( included in the cost) or extended volume cap ($49).

The larger the reservoir the less pressure increase during full compression, this pressure effects the midstroke harshness for rising rate linkages.
Also the longer the run the hotter the shock gets, and with small reservoir volumes this could double the pressure in the shock at the beginning of the stroke and make it feel topped out or over preloaded.
Regressive linkages like the "Sunday" only benefit from the bottom-out original unmodified reservoir. Most frames will need more nitrogen volume and will require the modified reservoir.
High rising rate frames and aggressive extended downhill runs on linear and progressive linkages will need the extended reservoir.

Improved IFP's

 

DHX IFP
Replacement to the left

 

After 2 or 3 years of riding the Internal Floating Piston
in the Fox DHX reservoirs begins to wear and allows the IFP to tip in the reservoir
and allow air and oil to leak between them.

This replacement IFP has been redesigned with a wider land and tighter tolerances and prevents this from happening. It is also hard coat anodized to prevent wearing out.

We may suggest you replace the stock IFP when we inspect your internals or
replace it now to prevent a blown shock in the future!
