#2006 fox dhx 3.0 upgrade
The upgrade in this instance is ONLY the spring characteristics, the damping is great on both shocks. I agree with Lee, in that you should try your best to tune it and ride it before you think about an “upgrade”.
It is easy to do, but you just need to know your way around an air canister. But that is for trail stuff.įor DJ you might be able to adjust pressures as the environment is more controlled.įilling the outer air chamber with thin plastic “shims” will net you more mid-stroke support. The other issue I had was hard cornering: some times the shock would sink deep in the travel in the turn, sometimes it stayed high, sometimes sunk deep at the apex changing geometry and lines – it was inconsistent. For me it was so bad, I would bottom my pedal to the ground on technical uphills.
The problem with the DHX Air is weak mid-stroke. For me, the bike went from one of the worst I’ve ridden (the poor fork is included in this) to the absolute best I’ve ridden. I have an 06 base Enduro, and moved to a coil. Don’t think for a second that newer/better parts will magically make everything perfect. I believe you can get a DHX coil to fit your Enduro frame. It’s a matter of getting an aftermarket shock that matches the eye-to-eye and stroke of your stock shock, and that will fit into the frame.ģ. As for the meatball at your local shop, this is not a question of travel.
If you think you are out-riding your stock shock, I have some swampland in Florida I’d like to sell you.Ģ. What the heck are you thinking? A coil shock will not help you jump. Any help you could offer would be much appreciated!ġ. Is this possible? A guy at a bike shop said that the lower end Enduro is actually a different frame from the higher ends and he’s not sure if it will accept that much travel. The rear shock from a DHX air 3.0 to a DHX 5.0 coil. The propedal on the 3.0 is fixed and not adjustable.
#2006 fox dhx 3.0 manual
This is from the online owners manual on Fox's website. I recently have gotten into jumping and I think I want to change out To change the compression damping characteristics of your DHX Air 5.0 shock, attach a FOX High Pressure Pump to the air valve on the reservoir: For a firmer ride, add 10 15 pounds of air pressure, to a maximum of 200 PSI. When Fox racers and engineers work together, the end result is the best high performance suspension anyone can buy for their Trophy truck to long travel sand car to daily driven vehicle.I have a 2007 base level Enduro. The data Fox Shocks collects from performance testing and their application of that knowledge to their products is what separates FOX shocks from every other suspension company in the world.įox Shock is a racing based, product driven company and they do not limit that winning, performance driven attitude to just the race course. The Fox team of engineers perform rigorous tests with their athletes year round. Fox uses real world racing to test their equipment in the world’s roughest conditions by the world’s best drivers.įor over three decades, FOX has been the industry leader in the design and development of high performance shock absorbers and racing suspension products for snowmobiles, mountain bikes, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and off-road cars and trucks. From the sands of Baja to the dunes of Dakar, it is part of Fox and who they are and what they do.
