Levo Gen 2 what coil size/weight? Fox DHX2 rear coil shock.

[JetSedgwick]

I'm thinking of putting a Fox DHX2 on my Levo and I'm not sure what spring weight to pick.

I think: 210x52.5mm & 500 lb spring for a rider weight of 180 lbs (with gear). Is this correct?

any other thoughts on this idea? good/bad?

I’m just over 200lbs (92kg) and have a 600lb spring in my DHX2. I’d say I’d be better off with a 650lb spring as I’m at just at 30% sag with 2 turns of preload on. I have an SLS spring which is considerably lighter than the non SLS one.

I’d say 500lb is a bit low for you.

I was thinking about creating a “spring exchange” website for people like you and me!

I’m in, I got two 650Lb SLS and Steel fox coils on DH x2 2021/210x 55mm also a 550lb but found my sweet spot around 575/625lb SLS.
Just thinking about a new 500/610lb progresive coil, btw i’m aroiumff 200/92kg this days.

Hopefully you haven't already purchased. Fox no longer recommends using their coil shocks on Turbo Levo and SL. See this thread and this post.
