Spring 2007<br />
Dear FOX Customer,<br />
Thank you for your business and support in 2007. We know you have many choices for suspension<br />
and we appreciate your continued support. That being said, we will continue to strive to produce<br />
the finest suspension products available to you and your customers.<br />
Since 1974 FOX Racing Shox has made suspension. It is all that we do, and it is all that we have<br />
ever done. We’re proud of this focus, which has resulted in racing championships in Motorcycles,<br />
Indy Cars, Snowmobiles, <strong>ATV</strong>’s, Off-Road Trucks and of course Mountain Bikes. The products that<br />
result from the knowledge gained across our multi-discipline racing efforts are tools, not toys.<br />
We design, test, and manufacture our high performance, engineering driven, purpose built tools<br />
right here in our factory in Watsonville, California. That is not just our job…this is our passion.<br />
This focused passion is alive and well within FOX Racing Shox, fueling the innovation you’ve come<br />
to expect from us for the present and the future.<br />
FOX forks and shocks have better ride quality because of our attention to detail, our focus, our<br />
multi discipline racing experience, and our passion. Widgets and marketing lingo don’t cut it on the<br />
trail. On the trail, it’s all about the RIDE. And in 2008 all our products have been taken to the next level<br />
of performance. How? By sweating the details. By maintaining good enough, is not good enough.<br />
For 2008 we are introducing a new F-Series Fork line-up with a completely redesigned chassis.<br />
We will again break the mold in XC racing and Trail fork prowess by expanding the F-Series family<br />
to meet the needs of the latest generation of 120mm Marathon/Trail bikes: super-light, super-stiff<br />
and super-fast. In the Fall of 2007 our F-29 fork will be available for the big wheel crowd, offering<br />
the stiffest and lightest 29 inch fork available. We will again raise the bar in the 6 inch plus fork<br />
category with our new 36. The new design features a lighter and stiffer crown, a new lighter lower<br />
leg design with an integrated 20mm QR for tool-free axle removal, superior torsional grip, and an<br />
incredible weight savings of .2 lbs (91g) over the previous design.<br />
Our Marketing efforts will continue to support the true image for FOX Racing Shox, an engineering<br />
driven, high performance suspension design and manufacturing company. We will continue to<br />
innovate the way we represent our brand so you always know you have the best suspension available.<br />
Please review our 2008 Mountain Bike Suspension products. We look forward to working with<br />
you and we wish you continued success.<br />
Regards,<br />
The FOX Team<br />

Jared Graves pins-it.<br />
Jared Graves – Team Yeti/FOX<br />
We tested quite a bit last season. With the latest<br />
improvements in tuning I don’t have to worry about going<br />
to a stiffer spring for efficiency. The damping gives me the<br />
traction I need with proper sag set-up. You can just pin-it.<br />
Rich Houseman – NMBS 4X Champion<br />
I’ve been riding FOX Suspension for several years, and<br />
they’ve always led the way with new and innovative ideas<br />
for going fast over rough terrain! After testing the newest<br />
suspension set-ups FOX has been working on, the bar<br />
has been raised! Better damping and lighter spring rates<br />
made for significant improvements in the fork. Under hard<br />
braking and pinning it through rock sections, the fork was<br />
very responsive and easily controllable.<br />
Justin Leov – New Zealand National Champion<br />
My favorite FOX product is the FOX 40 RC2 and it is<br />
because of its super plush feel, amazing light weight<br />
and active range of adjustments. The FOX 40 RC2 is a no<br />
nonsense race fork which can handle weekend after<br />
weekend of abuse and still offer the same incredible ride<br />
as when it first got put on your bike. When we tested<br />
the 08 set-up I found I could hold a tighter line in<br />
off-camber world cup courses.<br />
FOX has enhanced my performance with the ability to<br />
be able to control and tune my ride to any conditions I<br />
have to face, either on the World Cup circuit or out on<br />
a casual ride at home. Having a suspension product that<br />
works extremely well benefits everyone’s enjoyment and<br />
with a FOX product you know you will get that, no<br />
matter what terrain.<br />
Adam Craig - XC, Super D, Short Track Racer<br />
I’m a mountain bike rider. Pure and Simple. My world<br />
goes round because I get to rail around in the woods<br />
every day at some point. To that end, having suspension<br />
components that just work is something I hold close<br />
to heart. The new damping system helps the front end of<br />
the bike ride higher in the travel so the fork doesn’t dive<br />
on technical courses. The benefit is that I don’t have<br />
to run a super-stiff set-up, which lets my suspension<br />
work as it should and allows me to have an efficient XC<br />
race set-up. It’s real important to me to be able to perfectly<br />
preload off a roller with a smile on my face then<br />
whack it into a berm harder than any XC bike has business<br />
being whacked and somehow get away with it for the<br />
millionth time, smile intact... Fox components have the<br />
priceless combination of velvet damping and stiff, solid,<br />
real world compatible chassis that keep me on track<br />
regardless of whether it’s the racetrack or some backcountry<br />
singletrack, places I hold in equal regard.<br />
Mark Fitzsimmons - FOX Race Manager/Test Rider<br />
When you spend the time up front making a great performing<br />
product, the most difficult part is finding that<br />
extra 5% to make it even better. Similar to the dedication<br />
required by an athlete breaking out of the top ten and<br />
getting on the podium. You have to dig deep. The tuning<br />
changes we have worked on and made for 2008 give us<br />
that extra 5% of a performance advantage. That 5% can<br />
make the difference of 2 seconds in a race run or a sprint<br />
finish resulting in a medal or a loss. This is what we are<br />
striving for, that extra 5% and the medal.<br />
Going into detail of how we gained that 5% is complex<br />
and involves tedious tuning and endless testing with highly<br />
sophisticated equipment. The 2008 compression, rebound,<br />
and damping consistency changes will provide control and<br />
confidence resulting in taking the rider and us to the next<br />
level. We both win.<br />
Kyle Strait - Phenom<br />
For me it’s always been about confidence. I have been<br />
with FOX for most of my career and ever since I was<br />
much younger I have always wanted to ride FOX<br />
suspension. I can attempt anything on my bike and never<br />
have to think twice about my suspension’s capability. It’s<br />
an honor to be a part of such a company that has such<br />
great precision in their work. Their products are perfect.<br />
The product doesn’t fail me no matter how big I go. I can<br />
rely on it and depend on it. The last thing that I have to<br />
think about before and during an event is the reliability of my<br />
suspension. In a confidence driven sport, this is critical.<br />
Will Longden – UK 4X Champion<br />
My favorite FOX product is the Beanie, I’m going bald and<br />
it’s great to have something cool to wear at the races so<br />
I look like a young guy again. (hehehe)<br />
FOX Racing Shox helped me to forget about my bike.<br />
When everything works perfectly you can just get in the<br />
zone and ride to your limits, the bike becomes an extension<br />
of you and that’s when the magic happens!<br />
With Float suspension front and rear on my 4X race bike<br />
I had the speed of a bike that pedaled like a hardtail but<br />
a bike that tracked and gripped like a DH rig. This control<br />
gave me a National 4X title. Thanks guys<br />
Marc Beaumont – UK National Champion<br />
They give me the confidence of knowing that every time I<br />
ride my bikes I can give it 100% knowing that my FOX<br />
products won,t let me down.<br />
Scott Papola – NMBS Semi Pro DH Champion<br />
FOX helped me in my racing by knowing that I was never<br />
going to have any issues during my races. That I was on<br />
the correct suspension to push my self to the limit.<br />
FOX’s race support is the most important, always making<br />
sure your suspension is as tuned as it can be.<br />
Fabien Barel – 2X World Champion<br />
Mountain biking : Few disciplines, few different way to do<br />
it but only one philosophy... Nature, Physical, Adrenaline,<br />
all that around Passion.<br />
As all sport, the human performance needed is very<br />
important but the Bike is part of it. The Tires are your<br />
feet to grip and the suspensions are your legs to absorb<br />
impact. You are going to tell me that it comes back to<br />
human perfromance, and you are right ! FOX Racing shox<br />
with the DHX 5.0 and its all crew help me everyday to<br />
stick to the ground when I have my head on fire over the<br />
limits. Thank you guys for your great support and see<br />
you on tracks next year.<br />
Marla Streb – Luna Chix and MTB Legend<br />
My favorite FOX Fork is the RLT F100. It’s like a<br />
rebellious teenager - acts bigger and tougher than its<br />
feathery weight would justify. I used it during the La<br />
Ruta stage race this year. Over 40,000 feet of locked<br />
out climbing, and then down jagged volcanoes, rutted<br />
jungles and treacherous river crossings. Everything felt<br />
like a fluffy cloud to my FOX and me. I never leave home<br />
without getting on my FOX.<br />
Geoff Kabush - NMBS Short Track Champion<br />
When my bike is geared up for XC race performance my<br />
favourite set-up a FOX F100 RLT on the front and the<br />
FOX RP23 on the rear. I have given up on hardtails and<br />
only race full suspension now because my FOX Shox<br />
work incredibly well and are so effficient. When the trail<br />
gets rough I know I am going to be in the driver’s seat<br />
because my FOX Shox work; they don’t just look pretty,<br />
they are trail tested and I know the fork and shock is<br />
going to be smooth from start to finish.<br />
FOX represents a company that you can trust to deliver<br />
a product that works; you can feel the difference. When<br />
I am racing I push my bike hard and demand a lot from<br />
my FOX Shox; it is nice to know that they will always be<br />
there to deliver.<br />
Tara Llanes – USA DH Champion<br />
By giving me the best bike setup over all my competitors<br />
and the peace of mind knowing that I had the best bike out<br />
there to win my 2006 US National Downhill Championship.<br />
Ben Reid – Irish National champion<br />
Riding for FOX has helped so much at races. There race<br />
support team is a big benefit as I found they really listen<br />
to what you are saying about the Fork or Rear shock and<br />
are able to set it up for you exactly how you want. Also<br />
at the beginning of every season FOX runs a set-up camp<br />
and they make sure all there riders get there suspension<br />
in tune before the season starts.<br />
When I first went to FOX I definitely noticed a major<br />
difference in having a more rigid front end apart from this<br />
making the bike track better when cornering it seems to<br />
give you more confidence to hit stuff faster. With the<br />
rear shock being so smooth also I really noticed a<br />
difference over small bumps and in tracking.<br />
Better tracking means more corner speed.<br />
Just what every rider wants!<br />
Candace Shadley – Founder Rocky Mountain Dirt Series<br />
When we’re teaching, it’s all about the participants --<br />
what they want to learn, how their skills are progressing,<br />
and what we can do to give them the best riding day<br />
possible. With that kind of focus, it’s great to be using<br />
equipment that we never have to worry about, and that we<br />
know will always perform. Where suspension is<br />
concerned, there’s no one we would choose over FOX.<br />
Rob Howard – Founder and CEO Bikeskills<br />
The DHX family of rear shocks lets you dial-in whatever<br />
you want in terms of rear suspension performance.<br />
In many cases, the difference between a poorly performing<br />
bike and a great one is as easy as replacing the stock<br />
shock with a FOX DHX.<br />
Mark Sevenoff – Co-Owner, Western Spirit Cycling<br />
As owner/guide of Western Spirit Cycling I’ve got to be<br />
supremely confident in all my equipment. Between guiding<br />
clients, pitching camp, and fixing meals, there’s rarely time<br />
to even oil my chain. Riding FOX means I don’t have to<br />
worry about my own bike and can focus on the guests<br />
having fun.<br />

2008 36mm FORKS<br />
Maximizing strength vs. weight, a FOX engineering<br />
mandate, is no easy task. Despite the challenge,<br />
we went back to the drawing board on the 36 to<br />
surpass our benchmark for stiffness, strength<br />
and lightweight in the 6 inch + fork category.<br />
The result – an all new 36 chassis delivering<br />
all this and more. The new design features a<br />
lighter and stiffer crown, a new lighter lower leg<br />
design with an integrated 20mm QR for tool-free<br />
axle removal and superior torsional grip, and an<br />
incredible weight savings of .2 lbs over the<br />
current design!<br />
Same strength, same stiffness, tool-free<br />
axle, AND lighter weight - The all-new<br />
36 is ready for just about anything.<br />

“SUSPENSION – IT’S WHAT WE DO “ -B. FOX<br />
The ultimate Cross Country Fork, our new for 2008<br />
completely redesigned F Series.<br />
From the new chassis design with its ultra lightweight crown and tapered casting to the post mount<br />
disc brake tabs, we’ve shaved weight like racers in March. In spite of their ultra lightweight nature, they<br />
sacrifice none of the 32 mm stanchion enhanced steering precision and highly evolved and patented damping<br />
performance that is synonymous with the FOX name.<br />
Our new 120 mm model is the lightest fork in its class, perfect for longer travel XC bikes and<br />
marathon racers. All models are available in FOX White and can be found atop the podium.<br />

32 mm <strong>FLOAT</strong> fox valley 08<br />
NEW<br />
Lightweight, fast and fun. The air-sprung 32 <strong>FLOAT</strong> ®<br />
fork is synonymous with high-performance.<br />
<strong>FLOAT</strong> is the perfect fork for trail riders looking for the most adjustable, sophisticated damping you will<br />
find in a 5.5 inch fork. For 2008 we improved the damping on the already incredibly smooth <strong>FLOAT</strong>.<br />
And while it’s a featherweight, the chassis design boosts the legendary FOX steering precision and<br />
stiffness to weight ratio to another level. So, even though it may be the lightest kid on the block,<br />
the 32 <strong>FLOAT</strong> is one of the toughest, too.<br />

32 mm VANILLA fox valley 08<br />
The 32 VANILLA ® might just be the unsung hero of the<br />
Suspension fork world. At just over 4 pounds, it is the<br />
lightest coil sprung, 5.5 inch fork on the market.<br />
And, thanks to that coil spring and our ultra-refined and patented (RLC) open bath damping system, it is<br />
also one of the plushest forks money can buy. There comes a time when you just want to throw<br />
marketing jargon out the window and ride. That’s when the vanilla - good old, straight steering, true<br />
tracking, velvet smooth vanilla – shines like a diamond.<br />

36 mm TALAS Fox Mountain 08<br />
ANYONE HAVE THE KEYS???<br />
The 36 ® TALAS ® is the ultimate All-Mountain shredder.<br />
Six inches? Five? Four? 4x? Big air? Switchbacks? Regardless of where or how you are riding, the 36<br />
TALAS is ready to go. The optimized, lightweight all-new 36 lower leg with FOX’s tool-free 20QR system<br />
has a stepped 20 mm thru-axle which again sets the benchmark for rigidity and steering precision. A linear<br />
air spring and fully adjustable high and low speed compression and rebound damping devour whatever terrain is<br />
thrown its way. A light flick of the lever switches between three travel options; 160-130-and 100 mm.<br />
The 36 TALAS is ready, are you?<br />

40 mm 40 Fox 08<br />
40 ® is the fork of choice among DH racers who pay<br />
for their products.<br />
With a full 8-inches of travel, separate externally adjustable high and low speed compression damping<br />
circuits in our patent-pending closed RC2 FIT cartridge, a titanium coil spring, massive 40 mm<br />
stanchions, and yet a truly remarkable sub-7 lb weight, our 40 is the definitive light-heavyweight<br />
champion of the world. We’ve sweated every detail – a tight steering radius, low axle-to-crown height,<br />
and our integrated disc brake guide. No other DH fork comes close to offering this level of performance,<br />
range of adjustability, and combination of strength and low weight.<br />

The overall ProPedal range is huge, from extremely<br />
plush in the light setting to maximum pedaling threshold<br />
in the firm position for the most efficient ride possible.<br />
And, because damping is a two-sided coin, rebound settings<br />
have a wide range and linear feel over the entire rebound spectrum.<br />
The flagship RP23 ® offers the ultimate in adjustability. With<br />
the lever in the ProPedal setting, the 3 position ProPedal knob<br />
allows the rider to easily dial in the level of firmness they<br />
desire in one location (patent pending). For the racer or effi-<br />
ciency focused rider, the RP2 cuts to the chase by offering<br />
the maximum factory set ProPedal range - light to full firm<br />
all at the flick of the lever. So whether you want maximum<br />
adjustability or simple race day performance, FOX’s new RP<br />
shocks deliver.<br />

Turn the propedal knob clockwise (relative to the<br />
propedal knob facing the user) until the selection you<br />
want — 1, 2, or 3 — is aligned with the propedal lever.<br />
The propedal knob clicks twice per setting as it turns.<br />
The first click occurs as you exit the current setting;<br />
the second click as you engage the new setting.<br />

<strong>FLOAT</strong> RP23 FOX 08<br />
The incredibly light, best performing oil damped air shock<br />
on the market continues to evolve.<br />
For 2008, we redesigned and repositioned the air valve to accommodate a wider range of bike design<br />
packaging. Our proprietary ProPedal ® system provides pedaling threshold with flatter compression curves<br />
for rider efficiency and maximum traction.<br />
The flagship <strong>FLOAT</strong> ® RP23 ® offers incredible ride performance with its 3-position tuning range adjuster<br />
and 2-position adjustable ProPedal lever which allows riders to quickly shift from light to firm ProPedal.<br />
FOX’s ProPedal system is better than lockout. In the firm position, it can support a riders sprinting<br />
effort yet it will still absorb bumps.<br />

DHX 5.0 FOX 08<br />
Gravity meets its match in the DHX ® 5.0.<br />
Developed specifically for the demands of winning World Championships and the rigors of big-drop<br />
aggressive freeriding. The DHX 5.0 features a huge range of adjustability and is overbuilt to take abuse.<br />
Externally adjustable rebound damping and 15-click ProPedal® damping, combined with a tunable bottom-out<br />
resistance and patent- pending, position-sensitive Boost valve, plus the incredible responsiveness of a coil<br />
spring, make this the most sought after shock amongst the downhill set.<br />
