In the new Float racing fork, both the steerer tube and fork bridge are made of titanium - together they are made from a single piece. This results in a lower weight with higher stiffness. While other manufacturers rely on carbon here, Fox dispenses with the plastic. They have significantly more experience with titanium and have doubts about the long-term durability of the joints between carbon and aluminum.

Fox is now also entering the trendy market for Vario seatposts. They call their model DOSS. This has an adjustment range of up to 125 millimetres and works with remote control from the handlebars. However, the details are still sparse and the post presented at Interbike is only a prototype.

Delivery of both the titanium fork and the seatpost has been announced for next spring.
