I know I'm really late to the party on this comment but I'm thinking something similar. I never use full travel on my x2; there is always between 0.5 and 1 cm left even if I feel like I'm bottoming out pretty hard. I actually thought the x2 was just like the Fox 36 fork in that it did not use all the stanchion travel but when I let all the air out and fully weighted it with a slight bounce I could get travel all the way to max or within a mm or 2 at least. I think the bottom out bumper is either too long or too thick. I need to get some shaft clamps to take the end of the shock off to get it out and trim it to either be shorter or a cone shape instead of the current cylinder shape.
