In addition to the air suspension, the fork has also been made lighter thanks to the new design. Weight optimizations on the lower and stanchion tubes, as well as on the fork crown, reduce the total weight of the fork from 3.1 to 2.7 kilograms without compromising stability. The air suspension should not only save weight but also offer finer adjustment options. In addition to the spring stiffness, the spring characteristic can also be adjusted.

The 2014 steel spring strut uses new technology from the motorcycle sector and is equipped with new settings. The load changes between the master cylinder and the reservoir are better balanced. This means that the "DHX RC4" should respond more finely when changing direction quickly. To reduce friction and thus improve tire traction, Fox has also minimized the diameter of the shock piston.www.ridefox.com
