That is where the LSC knob is on the Performance Elite and Factory level shocks, yours is the Performance version which "only" has LSR and a climb switch

The good thing is these "performance" shocks are not sold aftermarket, the tune is supposedly optimized for your rear suspension kinematics, so it should be quite good.

Otherwise try to sell it and purchase the Elite or Factory of any other Fox shock, or for RockShocks, the "Ultimate" line.

Haha - typical Specialized. Pay over price and get crippled hardware here and there, them without telling you.

Looks like the Float X Performance actually does have adjustable LSC.
Seems like it can set it at 1 out, 4 out, 7 out, or 10 out (fully open). Wink
Merry Christmas!

Wonder if you can add the lsc to the "special"ized floatx.

No adj lsc on any performance models.

Yes you can technically. However the cost is not worth it if you ask me.

Just buy a factory series model if you want LSC adjustment.

That being said. Just ride what comes with the bike. The LSC adj on the factory barely has an effect on the overall ride feel.

It only cost about $15 for the blue knob if Fox will sell it to you, you don't have to bleed the shock or anything other than add the knob, detent springs/balls, and a screw.

It does make quite a bit of difference, the LSC on the Float X has a very large and usable range and at fully closed it completely shuts the bleed that bypasses the base valve. If you can't feel the difference in that, Rolleyes

But the Performance model LSC can be adjusted as well, so you really don't need the blue knob. Pop the black knob off and you'll see what I mean.

Didn't know that one. I thought only adding the 2pos switch was all. The fox website sucks haha. They say to not touch that black cap... Always learning

808-17-470-KIT is the part number to add the LSC yeah?

Also wouldn't the base valve tune change the lsc adjustment feel/range?

Ive ridden a factory dhx and man I really couldnt feel much change on that lsc adjuster. Maybe its only super low shaft speeds? Or again it may depend on the base valve tune? Hmm
