FLOAT answers the demands of the modern trail rider; a firm pedal platform for uphill efficiency and confidence-inducing, trail-hugging descent capability, all in a lightweight package. Trail riders seek a shock with the performance of a Float X but with lightweight capability like that found in the Float SL. Yet there is nothing middle-of-the-road about FLOAT. With its large volume EVOL air spring, riders can run their shock at lower air pressures for a more linear feel throughout the stroke. This results in smoother small bump performance, better grip at the tires and a shock that will not overheat on the demanding descents.
