2022 DHX2 Factory Rear Shock - Metric, 210 x 55 mm, 2-Position Lever, Hard Chrome Coat

Detail Information

Unchanged for 2022, the 2021 DHX2 had a complete redesign to improve performance across the board.   New compression and rebound circuit designs allow for greater oil flow and greater control, new shaft material, finish and seals reduce friction.   

The World Cup proven DHX2 is full of features, delivering ultimate performance and control when the trail gets steep. A Ti-Nitride coating provides a smooth and ultra-durable finish, while the Advanced RVS damping system improves damping, control and consistency with even more tunability.

The third generation of the Fox DHX2 gets a ground up redesign.  The addition of Variable Valve Control to the high speed rebound circuit required a new chassis, so Fox thought "if we have to redesign the shock, lets make everything better".  Variable Valve Control started life in the GRIP2 damper and allows riders to change the stiffness of the high speed rebound valve without changing the total amount of oil that can flow resulting in a shock that can recover from big hits better while having finer control over the flow of oil.

This is matched with a new higher flowing main piston to enable the higher shock speeds produced from big hits to be better controlled without having to restrict oil volume which could add harshness.  When combined with a new progressive MCU bottom out bumper specific to the DHX2 and a more significant tuning range for the High Speed Compression adjuster thanks to that improved control of oil, tuning how the shock responds to big hits is more easily achieved with just a 6mm Allen key.

Fox changed the material of the damper shaft and revised their sealing to improve friction and durability.  The steel outer body and finned inner body increases structural rigidity and reduces hysteresis.

Trail and Enduro riders have to go up mountains as well and the move to VVC allowed the 2-position climb switch to be placed on a separate circuit, meaning the "lockout" is noticeably firmer as it no longer has any effect on the open mode tune.

The new DHX2 has never been more ready to race.
