Dear FOX customer,<br />
Thank you for your business and support in the 2009 model year. We understand<br />
that you have many choices for suspension and we appreciate the continued<br />
trust you have in our team and our products.<br />
The 2008 Race Season was the best in FOX history. FOX Racing Shox<br />
sponsored athletes won 43 championships in our Mountain Bike Division, 2<br />
Snowmobile Gold medals in the Winter X Games, both the WORCS and ATVA<br />
overall championships on FOX equipped ATVs, the 85cc class at the US Open<br />
in Las Vegas, the Trans Orientale Rallye, and multiple CORR Off-Road races.<br />
There is no suspension company in the world supporting racing across as many<br />
markets, in as many countries, as FOX Racing Shox.<br />
The cross fertilization between the disciplines listed above gives us an<br />
unparalleled knowledge base and understanding of vehicle dynamics, versus<br />
our bicycle suspension supplier competition. That knowledge is one of the<br />
reasons we go racing. The other is simple: our mutual customers. Both address<br />
the enthusiast segment of mountain biking with our products, and what better<br />
way to say we care about our customers than to be there hanging out with<br />
them and helping them on race day.<br />
We always try to be our own toughest critics. So, for 2010 we’ve brought out<br />
more new products and product improvements since the original introduction<br />
of FOX forks. 1440g cross country forks. 1470g trail forks. 150mm travel 32s.<br />
We have the all-new FIT RLC 32 fork dampers across the line. Boost Valve<br />
technology brought into the FLOAT line up of rear shocks. The all new <strong>RC4</strong><br />
shocks will be brought into our coil shock line up after over one year of testing<br />
on the World Cup circuit, and so on. We’re hopeful the product line we’re<br />
going to show you for 2010 proves that the intellectual property and financial<br />
partnerships we’ve forged this past year demonstrate a stronger and hungrier<br />
FOX going forward.<br />
Our sprinter van is on the road year round visiting retailers to educate them on<br />
the ease of servicing FOX products and providing set-up and feature/benefit<br />
instruction for FOX products. For 2009 we’ve added a second sprinter van<br />
to the FOX fleet to cover even more retailers and grassroots events. Say hi<br />
to Scott, the driver of the second van when he comes by your area in the<br />
upcoming season. Please call us and set up your free clinic if you want to be<br />
the best-trained FOX dealer possible.<br />
Thank you for taking the time to review the 2010 FOX Racing Shox collection of<br />
forks and shocks. We look forward to working with you in the coming year.<br />
Regards,<br />
The FOX Team<br />

fox<br />
philosophy<br />
At FOX Racing Shox we race what we sell and race what we manufacture<br />
on our production line. We take product off the assembly line and send it to<br />
our world class sponsored athletes, confident it will perform flawlessly. We utilize<br />
the world’s best testers — our sponsored athletes — as an integral part of<br />
our product development process, knowing there is no harsher test of a product’s<br />
worthiness than to mount it onto a professional athlete’s race machine.<br />
The new FIT dampers in our 32mm RLC models and the new from the ground<br />
up shocks like our <strong>DHX</strong> <strong>RC4</strong> and RC2, are examples of the products that can<br />
come from this kind of process.<br />
In 2009 we made incredible strides in stiffness and improved damping<br />
performance throughout our fork line, to the point that our athletes asked us<br />
to develop rear shocks giving them the same Velcro traction and ride control.<br />
Our Engineering Team took this advice and started development of the<br />
new <strong>DHX</strong> line as well as working on adding our patented Boost Valve<br />
technology to our RP23 and RP2 shocks.<br />
At FOX Racing Shox, we are a racing based, product driven company and we<br />
don’t limit that winning, performance driven attitude to just the race course. It<br />
happens everyday within FOX. And really, that’s the reason the products come<br />
out the way that they do. Our founder Bob Fox said, “It’s a competitive world<br />
out there. It’s a Darwinian world. Our goal is to make the best product a customer<br />
can buy. That’s where we started, that’s where we are today and we’re<br />
not going to sit back and say we’re done. We’re never done.”<br />

NEW FIT RLC<br />
AND Rl DAMPER<br />
NEW FIT RLC DAMPER<br />
New FIT RLC damper design reduces oil volume and lightens the fork by 71g.<br />
Damper design minimizes un-sprung weight providing faster tire response<br />
while maximizing traction.<br />
FIT damper eliminates fluid aeration to provide consistent damping and lockout<br />
firmness in the roughest of terrain.<br />
New super wide low-speed compression range allows rider to choose from<br />
plush to platform-firm ride and is easily manipulated for on-the-fly tuning while<br />
the shim controlled mid and high-speed compression damping is tuned to<br />
provide superior travel control.<br />
FOX’s patented lockout threshold force adjuster provides a wide blow-off<br />
force range and is relocated to the center of the lockout lever for ease and<br />
improved accessability.<br />
New shim-controlled rebound circuit and rebound adjuster provide speed<br />
sensitive damping which maximizes traction and control throughout the stroke.<br />
New bladder design provides the lowest friction for sealed dampers.<br />
NEW FIT RL DAMPER (OE ONLY)<br />
New FIT RL damper design reduces oil volume and lightens the fork by 67g.<br />
Damper design minimizes un-sprung weight providing faster tire response<br />
while maximizing traction.<br />
FIT damper eliminates fluid aeration to provide consistent damping and lockout<br />
firmness in the roughest of terrain.<br />
New tuned Low-speed compression circuit and shim-controlled mid and highspeed<br />
compression damping provide superior travel control.<br />
New shim-controlled rebound circuit and rebound adjuster<br />
provides speed sensitive damping which maximizes traction<br />
and control throughout the stroke.<br />
FIT damper uses new bladder design which provides<br />
the lowest friction for sealed dampers.<br />
Unique bladder design, which provides the<br />
lowest possible friction for a sealed<br />
damper, reduces fluid aeration for<br />
enhanced suspension consistency, and<br />
reduces unsprung weight for faster wheel<br />
response and increased steering precision.<br />
ALL NEW FROM THE GROUND UP.<br />
LIGHTER. PLUSHER.<br />
MORE TRACTION, CONTROL<br />
AND PERFORMANCE.<br />
The FIT damper originally designed for the demanding rigors<br />
of world cup downhill racing is now redesigned to meet the<br />
needs of cross country, trail and all-mountain riders. Found<br />
in our RLC and RL models throughout our 32mm fork line, the<br />
FIT’s decreased weight and improved performance make our<br />
new FIT damper an important part of the recipe for your<br />
lightweight bike needs. Get FIT and feel the difference.<br />
15<br />
RLC DAMPER<br />
NEW Lockout force<br />
adjust knob location<br />
(RLC only)<br />
NEW Rebound knob<br />
is now located on the<br />
bottom of the damper.
The 15QR system is ideal for 32mm forks and<br />
has the same strength characteristics found<br />
on forks with 20mm thru axles.<br />
Compared to a 9mm open drop out, the<br />
15QR system greatly increases torsional<br />
and transverse shear stiffness, resulting in<br />
improved steering precision and front end<br />
confidence.<br />
With our clockable thread, there is never a<br />
need to unthread and re-adjust the QR nut.<br />
The QR lever will always end up in the proper<br />

25 percent<br />
increase in Transverse Shear Stiffness<br />
15 percent<br />
increase in Torsional Stiffness<br />
TRANSVERSE SHEAR: a 25 percent increase in transverse<br />
shear stiffness means the fork legs function as a single<br />
unit, improving suspension performance and front end<br />
confidence when forces on the wheel are not even on<br />
each side — rocks, roots, ruts ... mountain biking.<br />
Torsional Stiffness: FOX’s legendary torsional<br />
stiffness is further improved by 15 percent for increased<br />
rider confidence.<br />
SAy goodbye to road parts on your<br />
mountain Bike<br />
FOX and Shimano developed the 15QR system to improve the lives of Cross-Country and<br />
All-Mountain riders everywhere. The tool free 15QR Thru Axle makes for fast wheel<br />
changes and increased stiffness to weight ratio. The 15QR offers a lighter system weight<br />
than a 20mm Thru Axle and greater stiffness than a standard 9mm open dropout. Welcome<br />
to the new world order.<br />
17<br />
Axle Stiffness: A properly designed thru axle system<br />
is going to provide better torsional and transverse shear<br />
performance than an open dropout axle system. FOX and<br />
Shimano chose the 15x100 as the appropriate blend of<br />
weight, stiffness and packaging for the XC, Trail, and light<br />
duty All Mountain applications.<br />
clockable thread: You never have to adjust your QR skewer nut to find the perfect tension. Set it and forget it.

The Flagship XC Fork drops weight and competitors<br />
In 2009 we presented the completely redesigned 32 F-Series chassis improvements including the revolutionary new<br />
15QR system, new crowns, steerers and lower legs which improved suspension performance and rider confidence.<br />
For 2010 we have turned inward, with a completely new design of the FIT RLC and FIT Remote dampers. The FIT<br />
damper uses a unique bladder design, which provides the lowest possible friction for a sealed damper, reduces<br />
fluid aeration for enhanced suspension consistency, and reduces unsprung weight for faster wheel response and<br />
increased steering precision. The ergonomic, handlebar-mounted remote lockout offers riders flawless transitions<br />
between open and lockout damping modes. The F-Series forks can now boast a reduction in both weight and<br />
friction throughout the fork, resulting in better small bump sensitivity and increased front wheel traction. From<br />
World Cup XC to week-long stage races and everywhere in between, the F-Series forks are the most versatile and<br />
desirable cross country forks available.<br />

Lightweight Performer Gets Taller<br />
Like its F-Series siblings, the 32 FLOAT gets our all-new FIT RLC damper for more weight savings<br />
and improved damping. Available with an optional 1.5" – 1 1/8" taper steerer for added stiffness, the<br />
FLOAT’s overall weight reduction and decreased friction throughout the fork result in better small bump<br />
sensitivity and increased rider confidence. The new FIT damper inside combined with our 15QR system<br />
give the FLOAT the best ride control, traction and steering precision for your lightweight trail bike needs.<br />

Double Downhill World Champion<br />
At the 2008 World Championships in Val di Sole, Italy, FOX 40® equipped riders Rachel and Gee<br />
Atherton were crowned downhill World Champions. This double victory marked the culmination of<br />
what we learned during countless hours of testing on the world’s most demanding courses, and<br />
working with the best athletes the sport has to offer. Great athletes have the ability to adapt quickly<br />
to their equipment and then ask for more performance.<br />
Our engineers and race technicians have not only kept up, but anticipated their needs and<br />
championships are the result. The 40’s purpose-built downhill chassis has been optimized for<br />
maximum grip and weight savings, features massive 40mm stanchions and a direct mount stem<br />
upper crown. At its heart is our world-class FIT RC2 damper with separate, externally adjustable high<br />
and low speed compression damping circuits and a titanium coil spring.<br />
The FOX 40 is a sub 7 pound, full 8-inch travel Downhill Champion.<br />

BOOST VALVE® IS FOX’S PATENTED POSITION SENSITIVE DAMPING TECHNOLOGY,<br />
WHICH COMES IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT APPLICATION SPECIFIC CONFIGURATIONS:<br />
• BOOST VALVE DAMPING CAN BE UTILIZED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE STROKE TO ACHIEVE PROPEDAL<br />
peDALING EFFICIENCY.<br />
• BOOST VALVE DAMPING CAN BE UTILIZED AT THE END OF THE STROKE TO PROVIDE A BOTTOMLESS FEEL AND<br />
cONFIDENCE INSPIRING ENDING STROKE CONTROL.<br />
• BOOST VALVE DAMPING CAN BE UTILIZED THROUGHOUT THE STROKE OF THE SHOCK, PREVENTING SUSPENSION<br />
OVERSHOOT AND UNWANTED RIDER-TERRAIN INDUCED MOTION.<br />
After years of developing and racing Boost Valve equipped shocks we’ve garnered an understanding of where<br />
and how to apply this versatile and high performance tool. The result, a new from the ground up DH shock, the<br />
FOX <strong>DHX</strong> <strong>RC4</strong>. The FOX <strong>DHX</strong> <strong>RC4</strong> utilizes Boost Valve position sensitive damping for the last 1/3rd of the shock<br />
stroke where the confidence to launch big, or the control when a landing transition is not perfectly hit, can be the<br />
difference between winning and merely staying upright.<br />

The integration of Boost Valve technology into our FLOAT RP shock family<br />
is an entirely new application for this precise race oriented tool, mating our<br />
World Cup proven Downhill technology with our lightweight FLOAT chassis<br />
for increased rider control, traction and bottom-out resistance.<br />
These FLOAT shocks maintain ProPedal pedaling efficiency and the intuitive<br />
adjustment scheme you’ve come to know and love in the RP23, and<br />
then make bumps disappear and jump landings seem tame. Making this<br />
the only shock on the market combining this level of light-weight pedaling<br />
efficiency with gravity inspired bump eating performance and control.<br />

Downhill courses. This year Boost Valve is brought into the XC, Trail, and All Mountain categories in our RP23<br />
level FLOAT shocks. Bumps disappear. You’ll wonder where that harsh landing used to be on your favorite trail.<br />
And you’ll smile as you pull away from your ride group when there’s no sacrifice in traction or bump comfort<br />
while in the pedaling efficient ProPedal mode of your new FLOAT RP23.<br />

Downhill Prodigy, born on the race circuit<br />
The <strong>DHX</strong>® <strong>RC4</strong> is a new from-the-ground-up, purpose-built downhill shock specifically engineered to the<br />
demands of the world’s most brutal downhill courses and the athletes who make them look easy. In only<br />
its first year of testing on the World Cup Circuit, the <strong>RC4</strong> became the benchmark of performance, helping<br />
sister and brother teammates Rachel and Gee Atherton win the Downhill World Championships.<br />
Externally adjustable high and low speed velocity sensitive damping and a completely redesigned Boost<br />
Valve® for position sensitive ending stroke control, act independently from each other allowing the rider<br />
to dial in the perfect balance of traction, small bump compliance and big-hit absorption. A larger diameter<br />
shaft lowers internal pressures and increases oil flow throughout the entire shock allowing for a wider range<br />
of tuning. Embrace your inner World Champion.<br />
<strong>DHX</strong> RC FAMILY FEATURES<br />
• Externally adjustable high speed velocity sensitive damping (<strong>RC4</strong> only)<br />
• Externally adjustable low speed velocity sensitive damping<br />
• Redesigned Boost Valve is focused on handling bottoming loads for increased<br />
confidence on big landings and missed transitions<br />
• Increased oil flow throughout entire shock to allow wider range of tuning and<br />
