Product Information
Full details
Fox Float Fluid is a high-performance, anti-friction lubricant designed specifically for mountain bikers and mechanics maintaining air-sprung suspension components. Its primary benefit is the reduction of seal friction and protection against internal corrosion, ensuring smooth travel and extended component life. While it is an essential maintenance tool for Fox systems, users should note that it is specialized for air sleeves and foam rings and should not be used as a substitute for damper oil or general-purpose lubricants.

FAQs
Can I use this fluid in my suspension damper?
No, this fluid is formulated specifically for air sleeves and is not compatible with internal damper cartridges.
How often should I apply this fluid?
It should be applied during every major air-sleeve service, typically recommended every 50 hours of ride time or as specified by the manufacturer.
Is this safe for all suspension brands?
While optimized for Fox suspension systems, it is a high-quality lubricant; however, always verify compatibility with your specific manufacturer's service manual.
What happens if I use too much fluid?
Excessive fluid can lead to reduced air volume, which causes a more progressive "ramp up" in the spring curve, potentially affecting your sag and bottom-out resistance.
How should I dispose of used fluid?
Dispose of used lubricant in accordance with your local environmental regulations regarding chemical and oil waste.
Troubleshooting
Suspension feels harsh after service
Ensure the correct amount of fluid was used per manufacturer specifications; too little or too much can affect performance.
Fluid leaking from the main seal
Check that the seals were installed correctly and are not damaged; verify that the air pressure is within the recommended operating range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Fox Float Fluid effectively, always consult the specific technical service manual for your suspension fork or shock model, as fluid volumes vary by component. Ensure all internal surfaces are clean and free of debris before application to avoid contaminating the seals. After applying the fluid to the seals and air sleeve, reassemble the component carefully to avoid pinching the O-rings. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed to maintain the chemical integrity of the lubricant. Always wear gloves during maintenance to protect your skin and ensure no contaminants are introduced into the suspension internals.
