With a Fox Float Performance DPS rear shock controlling 140mm of rear travel, you'll be set up for any trails.
Aluminum Frame
Fox Float Performance DPS – For a lightweight, inline shock, the DPS packs a lot of performance. The Dual Piston Base Valve has dedicated compression and rebound pistons, providing a firm lockout without compromising bump compliance, ride control, or efficiency. Performance Series FLOAT DPS shocks have fewer adjustments than Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and have black anodized air sleeve and body instead of Genuine Kashima Coat. A Performance graphics package ties in the black-on-black look.
140mm VPP® Rear Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
Shock Adjustments – 3-Position Lever (Open, Medium, Firm) / Rebound Adjust / Air Spring Pressure
Bottle Cage Mount – Within the front triangle, fits piggyback shocks.
