Fox feiert 40igsten

1974 hatte Bob Fox begonnen, für Motocrosser Federelemente zu bauen. Um frisch geliftet bei der Geburtstagsfeier am Start zu sein, präsentiert Fox heuer eine komplett überarbeitete 36er-Endurogabel, auch die 34- und 32er-Modelle spüren den Frühling. Für Freunde eines schlichten Auftritts ist auch etwas dabei.

At around 1901 grams, the 36 fork from Fox is well equipped to take on the competition from model year 2015. This means that the previously rather chubby 36 (250 grams heavier than the 2015 version this year) is poaching in the in-house 34 fork range, which will therefore be more in the all-mountain than enduro segment.

The new RC2 damper should offer a better response to small bumps and work with less friction overall. The CTD damping is therefore not used here.

Fox gives the Enduro rider a special treat with versatility at the dropout. With a type of insert sleeve, hubs with 15 and 20 millimeter thru-axles feel at home on the 36. In terms of wheel sizes, Fox has opted for 26, 27.5 and 29 inches for the 2015 36.

Update for the 32 and 34 platforms
For the forks of the 32 and 34 series, the engineers have made fresh adjustments to the damper settings for the upcoming model year. The response to small bumps is said to have improved significantly. The CTD adjustment system remains on board, where the middle trail mode can be finely adjusted in seven nuances. New seals on the 32, 34 and 36 mm forks are intended to ensure finer compression overall.

Simple, simpler, stealth
Fox is calling the upcoming and limited edition of the following forks Stealth:
32 29"/100mm CTD w/Trail Adjust
34 27.5"/160mm CTD w/Trail Adjust
40 26"/203mm RC2

These forks come in an understated design, the stickers are black and the adjustment knobs are also in this color.

Anniversary stickers
Fox is commemorating the company's 40th anniversary with a sticker set. Fox forks will soon be available in the graphic style that was popular in the motocross business in the 70s. Regardless of the year of manufacture, Fox shocks or forks can be wrapped in retro garb with a sticker set in the colors red, blue, white, green or even tennis blue-yellow.
