Fox Shox Float RP23 Rear Shock

fox float rp23 travel

The mountain bike air shock that started a suspension revolution. The Float line packs a ton of performance and pedaling efficiency into a lightweight package, for XC racing to All-mountain riding.

  • USER REVIEWS

Pretty good got as a cheap replacement to my dh bike and haven't changed it since. Partly because dh shocks are to expensive

Kinda hard to use

Strengths: - works fine as long as ist lasts - looks "important"

Weaknesses: - starts smacking relatively quickly after Service - Propedal stops working soon after Service - it really need the annual service badly,even if you just ride occasionally I haven been using the 2012 BV XV damper in a 2009 Stumpjumper FSR for 5 years now. For the money it works fine, but durability is bad. Im a a light rider, neither exceptionally fast nor doing big drops. The volume reducer shims were no use for me, I needed higher Boostvalve Pressure to get rid of the damper rushing through its travel with correct sag settings for my weight. As the damper really has to get a Service every year, its expensive in maintenance.

Good,smooth

Not good for huge impact, tech dh

Overall good smooth shock, but today I landed flat and it blew out,not good for massive impact, jumping, but really good for xc, semi tech trails

It's a decent shock while it lasts.

I've warrantied it 3 times within the 1st year now that its out of warranty fox expects me to pay to fix the same problem.

The 2012 shock came new with a harsh thunk at the top of the stroke when propedsl was engaged sent it in several times within the 1st 6 months. Now the propedal stopped working and has a thump at the top of the stroke, it's just out of warranty. Obviously a bad shock from the start but I'm supposed to pay to have it fixed from here on out. Very chintzy. I've seen a lot of problems with this 2012 batch I think fox should recall them or aknowledge the problem.

The good things about this shock are that it is simple and good for moderately technical track i give this a 10/10.

great sock bit to expensive but i am 12 years old and i got it on my trek fuel ex 9. GREAT SHOCK!!:)

seals seem to last

2nd shock where propedal does not work or has very limited effect.

Not impressed with this shock. I've had two versions on two different frames and both have had issues with propedal out of the box. As it it DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. Next shock will not be fox I hope.

Seals have lasted a long time.

Blows through travel if sag is set correctly. To fix I'm supposed to pay Fox $25 for a spacer kit which looks like it contains $0.20 of plastic. Pro-pedal does nothing if your over 180lbs. Rebound adjustments aren't gradual enough.

The performance does not reflect the price. I hate the need to send Fox forks and shocks off to PUSH to get them to work correctly.

heavy duty for high jump not sure for extreme jump tho..

not bad for the quality

Light, plush for small bump compliance, works well for cross country

Reliability sucks, had cavitation in the shock after 4 months. Sent it in and borrowed a friends identical shock. Cavitation after three weeks and had to be sent in as soon as mine got back. It also spikes on long downhill runs as the shock heats up. There is not enough oil in the shock to counteract the heat buildup.

While it is working not a bad shock, but there are much better choices. Works well for cross country riding, but once you start going downhill you will be giving up a lot of performance. If the DH is rough then it will be even worse. Reliability is abismal. Two non functional shocks with less than four months on each is a joke. Another friend has one that will not hold air with less than a week of riding on it. When Fox first got into the bike business everyone wanted their stuff because of the performance and reliability. I think now it is a much different story. Hopefully they get things back in line soon.

Quality control. Third Fox product that I got that was bad out of the box.

Fox has the worst quality control of any manufacturer. This is my third fox product that was bad out of the box. Won't hold pressure. I doubt I'll be buying anything fox for years to come.

Rear shocks, fox float rp23 adaptive logic kashima shock long-term review.

Fox updated the popular RP23 air shocks in 2012, introducing the distinctive gold-coloured Kashima coating and Adaptive Logic compression damping. We’ve been testing this top-tier shock for almost a year and it’s easily one of the best shocks we’ve ever ridden. The benchmark has been set very high.

Unique to Fox, the Kashima coating reduces stiction, the initial resistance to compression movement, in the shock. We noticed the difference immediately. The shock, and therefore the suspension, is a lot more supple and the very early part of the stroke, over small bumps and ripples, is noticeably more sensitive.

Another big change is Adaptive Logic, a three-position low-speed compression adjustment. The ProPedal lever now switches between an adjustable open position with three levels of damping, and a fixed pre-set threshold, set to the highest level of damping control. The three options are numbered ‘0’, ‘1’ and ‘2’, the first being fully open, and when you switch the lever to 3 you get very firm damping.

It’s a far more user-friendly design than the previous RP23 shock and makes setting it up for your style of riding much easier, as you have two levels of compression to choose between. Hit the lever to the full compression damping for solid climbing and flick to the open mode, with your choice of damping, for coming back down the hill. A diagram on the shock body clearly designates the lever’s features.

fox float rp23 travel

We’ve been testing the RP23 on our long-termer Santa Cruz Tallboy for most of the year. It’s been ridden everywhere, from trail centres dotted across the UK to local cross-country rides, some epic all-day rides and even a solo 12-hour race. And it’s proven to be absolutely dependable, reliable and smooth operating for every one of those miles. Every time I ride I’m impressed with how smooth the shock is, and it’s stayed that way through the test period – the Kashima coating has lived up to the claims of increased durability.

There’s virtually no discernible stiction through the shock’s travel. It slides effortlessly along the shaft, producing an amazingly supple ride feel. It’s also more active, and the upshot of this is that traction is increased as the wheel is more closely following the shape of the ground.

fox float rp23 travel

We found the ‘1’ setting the best fit for most typical trail riding on the Tallboy. In this setting there’s just enough damping control to keep the suspension composed. We rarely used the full ‘3’ compression damping, but it’s still a nice option to have for longer fireroad climbs and road blasts where firming up the suspension helps.

The rebound dial gives a wide and usable range of available with 16 clicks from fully open to fully closed. The dial was redesigned this year and is easier to operate with gloves on, and when making changes on the fly.

Yes it’s expensive but the Kashima coating is really worth the money because once you experience the ride quality you’ll struggle to go back to a standard shock.

fox float rp23 travel

For 2013 Fox has made another update to this shock, introducing CTD (climb, trail, descend) settings. The T option still has three settings, 1, 2 and 3 so you can control the amount of low-speed compression damping for general riding. It’s a further clarification of the compression damping settings on this shock and offers the same range of control but aims to remove any confusion about the settings.

Bikes are now shipping with the new shock so we’ll hopefully get our hands on one to test. The damping controls aside, the rest of the shock carries through to the 2013 range and as our long-term test of the current shock concluded, it’s a high performance and low maintenance shock that has few competitors.

Fox raises the benchmark with an astoundingly silky smooth and well damped shock with a good range of compression damping options.

Fox RP23 XV BV air shock review

More control and performance

Guy Kesteven

Fox’s Boost Valve (BV) and Internal Floating Piston (IFP) technologies have controlled bottom-out in their downhill shocks for some time, but for 2010 BV gets a two-fold tweak.

Increasing the preset air pressure behind the damping piston (choose from 175-250psi) increases the force needed to push the shock through its last phase of travel, ideal for linear or falling rate suspension setups or big, aggressive riders.

Higher pressure settings also increase the effective preload of the shock, making it less likely to move under light pedalling loads but it feels fractionally stiffer over small bumps – barely noticeable on lower BV pressure tunes, though.

The real gains from the position-sensitive damping are in the mid-stroke and transition from ProPedal to open. The IFP-based damping meters oil flow more accurately for better control and stability when all hell breaks loose under your wheel.

It also collects big hits better, and every bike we’ve tried it on has gone noticeably faster and felt tighter as a result. Velocity (ie compression) and rebound tune ranges can be preselected for different bikes, giving you an accurate ‘factory’ feel.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

  • Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
  • Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and Museum

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

fox float rp23 travel

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

fox float rp23 travel

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

fox float rp23 travel

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

fox float rp23 travel

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

fox float rp23 travel

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

fox float rp23 travel

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

fox float rp23 travel

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

FLOAT RP2, RP23 DRCV

Dual Rate Control Valve (DRCV) Technology  |  Installing Your Shock  |  General Maintenance  |  Before You Ride  |  Measuring Sag  |  Setting Sag  |  Adjusting Rebound:   RP23  /  RP2  |  ProPedal:   RP23  /  RP2  |  Service Intervals  |  Important Safety Information  |  Stuck Down Shock  |  Air Sleeve Maintenance

Dual Rate Control Valve (DRCV) Technology

The Dual Rate Control Valve (DRCV) deploys a dual air chamber system, in which a secondary air chamber opens at a specific point during shock travel. The DRCV system combines the efficiency of a smaller air volume ride with the plush response of a large air volume shock deeper into its travel stroke.

The secondary air chamber is positioned on the top of the shock, requiring the upper eyelet to be placed midway between the secondary chamber and main air sleeve.

Installing Your Shock

If you are installing your shock (on a bike for which the shock is original equipment only):

  • Install the shock.
  • Remove the dual-chamber valve air cap and depress the core pin fully to let all the air out of the main and secondary air chambers. Be sure to read the caution note about the dual-chamber air valve in Setting Sag .
  • Carefully cycle the suspension through its entire travel.
  • Check that all parts of the shock are clear of the frame and swingarm as it cycles through the travel.
  • Pressurize your shock to a minimum of 50 psi and no more than 300 psi. You will tune to a more specific air pressure in the Setting Sag section below.

General Maintenance

There may be a small amount of air sleeve lubricant residue on the body. This is normal. If this residual air sleeve lubricant is not present, this is an indication that the air sleeve should be re-lubricated. Some other things to consider for all shock models:

  • If you ride in extreme conditions, service your shock and air sleeve more frequently. Check the maintenance schedule for your shock.  
  • Wash your shock with soap and water only.
  • Do not use a high pressure washer to clean your shock.
  • Internal service should be performed by FOX Racing Shox or an Authorized Service Center .

Before You Ride

  • Clean the outside of your shock with soap and water and wipe dry with a soft dry rag. Do not use a high pressure washer on your shock.
  • Inspect entire exterior of shock for damage. The shock should not be used if any of the exterior parts appear to be damaged. Please contact your local dealer or FOX Racing Shox for further inspection and repair.
  • Check that quick-release levers (or thru-axle pinch bolts) are properly adjusted and tightened.
  • Check headset adjustment. If loose, adjust according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
  • Check that brake cables or hoses are properly fastened.
  • Check that the front and rear brakes operate properly on flat land.

Setting Sag

You can also view a Flash video on Setting Sag .

To set sag:

  • Be sure that you cycle your DRCV shock past 60% of its full travel at least once.
  • Measure sag , and compare it to the recommended sag setting shown in the Air Spring Setting Guidelines table below. Continue if the sag is not to specification.

Note:   The dual-chamber air valve looks very similar to a Schrader valve, but internally it's quite different. This valve automatically equalizes air pressure between the main and secondary air chambers, as air is pumped into or released from this dual-chamber valve.

Caution!   Do not attempt to service the dual-chamber air valve, or remove and reinstall its core! Doing so will risk causing irreparable damage to the valve, in turn impairing normal shock operation. Any damage to this valve is repairable only by an Authorized Fox Service Center .

Note:   For proper sag adjustment, it is mandatory to thread the pump hose an additional 1¼ turns past the point where the pump initially shows a pressure reading.

Note:   It is necessary to cycle the shock beyond 50% of its full travel at least once after the pump hose is removed, before measuring your sag.

  • Unthread the pump from the air valve, cycle your shock and measure sag.

Adjusting Rebound for the RP23

Rebound controls the rate at which your shock returns after it has been compressed. The proper rebound setting is a personal preference, and changes with rider weight, riding style and conditions. A rule of thumb is that rebound should be as fast as possible without kicking back and pushing the rider off the saddle.

The rebound knob has 8-10 clicks of adjustment.

For slower rebound , turn the red adjuster knob clockwise.

For faster rebound , turn the red adjuster knob counterclockwise.

ProPedal for the RP23

Propedal lever.

The ProPedal lever allows for on-the-fly ProPedal adjustment. ProPedal damping reduces pedal-induced suspension bob. The two ProPedal lever settings are:

Use each setting to adjust the shock for different riding conditions and situations. For example, use PROPEDAL for riding to the top of the mountain, and then switch to OPEN for the descent.

fox float rp23 travel

To determine which ProPedal position is better for your condition and situation, pedal the bicycle and monitor the shock movement. Switch between positions and select the one that reduces suspension movement most effectively while providing the desired amount of bump absorption.

Because suspension designs and riding skills vary, optimal settings can vary from bike to bike and rider to rider. For more precise ProPedal tuning and to further eliminate pedal-induced bob while maintaining bump compliance, adjust the ProPedal knob. As with the ProPedal lever, switch positions and select a setting that reduces suspension movement most effectively while providing the desired amount of bump absorption.

ProPedal Knob

The 3-position ProPedal knob (shown below) allows you to adjust ProPedal firmness when the ProPedal lever is in the PROPEDAL position. The ProPedal knob only changes damping when the ProPedal lever is in the PROPEDAL position.

The ProPedal knob settings are denoted by the numbers etched onto the ProPedal knob. The three ProPedal knob settings are:

  • (1) PROPEDAL Light
  • (2) PROPEDAL Medium
  • (3) PROPEDAL Firm

fox float rp23 travel

To adjust the ProPedal knob:

  • Turn the ProPedal lever to the PROPEDAL position, as shown in graphic above.
  • Lift the ProPedal knob (see frame #2 in the drawing below).
  • Turn the ProPedal knob clockwise (relative to the ProPedal knob facing the user) until the selection you want—1, 2, or 3—is aligned with the ProPedal lever ( #3 ). The ProPedal knob clicks twice per setting as it turns. The first click occurs as you exit the current setting; the second click as you engage the new setting.

Caution!   The ProPedal knob should NOT be adjusted on-the-fly. It should only be adjusted while in a stationary position.
