Review on πŸ”§ High Pressure Shock Pump by Fox by Daniel Evans

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Dropped single stage valve

Had to replace my old pump because I dropped it and the gauge broke. I figured you couldn't ask for a better Fox, especially since I have Fox suspension on my bike. The pump is made of high quality materials and its fit and finish is appealing. What disappointed me the most was the single-stage valve. Which honestly isn't the biggest problem with front forks as you're usually dealing with lower pressures (80-120psi). However, on my 290psi DPX2 shock, the pressure drop due to valve separation is huge and unpredictable. Fill the shock 3 times each time the sag was at a different level. According to the gauge I lost 15 to 40 psi. I've tried various removal methods and it's just not ideal. It would be a near perfect pump if Fox went with a two stage valve.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Modern
