FOX X2 SHOCK TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED - FOX FACTORY, INC.
Спорт
FOX’s X2 shock platform introduces a new damping design, Rod Valve System or RVS, which provides excellent control, quick hydraulic response and 4-way adjusters that can be tuned to any terrain.
FOX’s DHX2 and FLOAT X2 shocks utilizes the same technology used by athletes in the FOX Racing Applications Development (RAD) program to win the 2014 Men’s and Women’s Downhill World Cup Series and World Championships as well as five World Cup victories in 2015 to date (Gwin 2, R. Atherton 2, Minnaar 1). With coil spring and air spring models available in numerous sizes, there’s an X2 shock for every downhill and enduro bike out there.

They could, but the tech explained here seems to be working very well and I believe, achieving effect I would deem, as a random engineer, as effective.

This kind of stuff is why i am obsessed with suspension
Wow.. That was a really good visualization and explanation... :O
can the shims on the main piston be tuned or does it not make a difference if you are a lighter/heavier rider?
Best explanation ever!
K I just zoned out completely gotta relisten to this again.
The zoom animation is difficult to understand because the oil inlet hole is missing under the compression part, as is the case under the detente part.
just wondering what are the difference of fox dhx2 rvs elite to fox dhx2 rvs
Its so nice i swear i bought a FR AMR 6.7 AL U and this suspension is in there is so sweet !!!
Great video,l nicely shown.
Does this technology apply to the shock absorbers of the Ford raptor?
is this the recalled one?

Nice vidéo thanks...
So how much travel would a shock like this have
Hving a full brace u put your leg into instead of just on a peddle, might b good start. Problem is u hve to b able to put foot down or drag it. So the leg/ bike brace would hve to attach to u & then u step onto peddle, w/brace. This will give u suspension pnts on both legs & protect the lower legs.

I’ve watched this so many times and I still don’t understand how high and low speed is mechanically separated! I’m going to school for engineering and I’m still baffled

Check out the Wikipedia page for "Check Valve" It's very simple if you can break it down in your head. The fluid opens the valve when it pushes one way (usually against a spring), but when it pushes the other direction, it _closes_ the valve. At 1:07 you'll see that if fluid was to push upward (from the bottom) on those check valves (the flat things that are highlighted with the circles), they would push against the body and create a seal, whereas if they are pushed from the top downward, they would open more.

low speed = small hole high speed= oil pressure opens a bigger hole which is "spring loaded"
@a.r.8850
Жыл бұрын
the damping circuits are not separated, high speed damping is an added circuit. if the speed/force is too low, only the lowspeed circuit is open. if there is enough force/speed to push the spring back, the oil can now flow through the low speed valve AND the high speed valve. the high speed knob adjusts how much force/speed is needed for the circuit to open (preload on the spring.

Where is a good place to send a fox rear shock for repair. Bought a dh bike that came with a thought to be blown rear shock... turns out the bone head was turning the damper shaft to adjust preload and the nut that hokds the piston onto the damper shaft unthreaded n came off. No damage just the shim stack went all mixed up.

Can someone verify that with faster Rebound (less rebound damping) you increase the mid stroke suppot and bottom out resistance? I have cross check this countless times but i ve never seen anyone mention it.
@fraserdavidson6900
Жыл бұрын
Not sure if you are still looking for the answer but rebound will not do much for support. What you need is compression adjustment. Rebound only (in theory) works as the damper is extending. It’s the adjustment that prevents the bike from bucking you off. Compression damping is the resistance to the damper being squished as it’s moving. Keep in mind that “mid support” can also be caused by suspension kinematic design and the ramp rate of the spring + any friction effects going on.

Last is seating again w/biking BMX or motor cross bal & standing or partial seating is v/diff from just riding a bike. The old style banana seats r safest, bc u hve largest area to land back down on. U can jump w/2 riders & still land it. Hving a modern hinged in middle banana seat gives u 2 seats in 1 & positions to rest on or against or actual sit back down on. Bc it is hinged if u know going to take a hit u want to b rear most shocks absorption 2 on back & most travel. So many dynamics w/speed & jumps BMX & NOW Ebikes r more motor cross then req biking. It needs the connection pnts disconnected from bike.

Normal BMX 4 hve frame flex shock & front fork shocks but need leg bracing shocks right at peddles & seat shocks w center hinge & u need a seam steering shock system as well. Skimp on any of these connection pnts & not wearing BMX type safety gear & it is not going to end well. Ebike who knew. Best I can do just taking a swing at it.

for the masses I don't thick it is safe to bmx bike/ ebike. Jids sure or teens but not masses. Need a new design that disconnect rider from basic bike design contact pnts, but as yet I got nothing.

I'm not sure what you're trying to claim, I suppose just name dropping Ohlin's and mentioning "technology" to seem like you have even a basic understanding of what's going on here. Ohlin's doesn't have a monopoly on damper architecture. You can't patent damper architecture, only a VERY specific way in which you were to implement said "technology", as you call it. The same design principles have and are being used in countless other products by countless other manufacturers.
Cough cough. Simple...
