Fox 2017: Boost and a platform for the shock

The feather-light 32 mm Step-Cast cross-country fork was Fox's first fork, and now there's more news for the 2017 model year. Of course, Boost has been introduced for the forks, and the shocks have a quick-acting platform on board.

Gold, black, silver

Fox is introducing three coatings for the standpipes: The top models have the familiar gold Kashima coating, the mid-range gets black stanchions and the entry-level class is branded with silver stanchions.

Boost - and models for E-MTB

New options have been added to the Fox forks of the 34 and 36 series with 110x15 millimetres and Boost respectively. For both series, the suspension engineers have worked on the FIT4 damping tune and given it a new shim stack. The aim was to tickle more sensitivity out of the forks in the first few centimetres of the stroke.

Within the 34 and 36 series, Fox also offers bike manufacturers versions designed for e-mountain bikes. The fork chassis in particular is equipped with more material to withstand the weight and speed of a motorized mountain bike.

Simply switch off: The platform for the suspension-rich Fully

The Float X2 shock features a new two-position lever. This lever ensures that the low-speed compression damping increases on the fly. This generates a kind of platform that supports more efficient pedaling and suppresses suspension bob. Also available with this platform option is the new DHX2 steel spring shock.
