Features
• Improved shock clearance (smaller bottom out knob
and shorter overall reservoir length)
• Improved bump performance
• Critical decoupling of bottoming resistance and
ProPedal adjustment
• A: Independent adjustable bottoming
resistance with
common hex tool.
• B: Independent click-adjustable
ProPedal
Damping
via 15 click knob.
• C: Adjustable velocity sensitive
shimmed rebound
control with linear range.
• D: Adjustable tuning range via
Schraeder (Adjusts
ProPedal & bottom out range {Min & Max})
Shimmed controlled compression damping to
prevent excessive wallow or dive effect.
• E: Precision sized bushings to
eliminate break in and
increase durability.
For 2006, FOX tightened up the packaging at the reservoir, allowing
greater frame clearance. FOX also improved its unique
Boost ValveTM
tuning and
technology. The Boost Valve increases compression damping as the shock compresses,
creating a position-sensitive shock that allows efficient pedaling,
ensures flawless square edge bump performance, and provides
unsurpassed bottom-out resistance. The factory tuned rebound damping is controlled by a
speed sensitive shim stack and is externally adjustable. Bushings are
precision sized to eliminate break-in time and to ensure durability.
The top of the line DHX 5.0 offers external bottom-out adjustment
and a 15-click external ProPedal adjustment. On top of all this, the ProPedal and bottom-out
adjustment are de-coupled, allowing them to operate independently
from each other. This makes the shock setup for different courses and
different riding styles easy and intuitive. Super fine-tuning on all
models is also offered through air pressure adjustments in the reservoir,
which will increase or decrease
the entire compression damping characteristic. This allows for an even greater
range of adjustments, which is perfect to help dial your shock in for a
specific leverage ratio or suspension design. The
bottom line - the DHX is the most versatile easily adjustable shock amongst the
big-impact crowd, and
at 90 grams lighter than the competition, it is also the lightest
shock of its kind.
