NOTE: FOX forks do not include reflectors for public road use. FOX forks are designed for use in competitive off-road riding and racing. Proper reflectors meeting the
Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) requirements should be installed if the fork will be used on public roads.
NOTE: After riding in salt-abundant areas (ocean coasts, desert salt flats, salted roads in winter), completely rinse off your bicycle to prevent corrosion.
Rear Shocks
If your shock ever loses oil or makes unusual noises, stop
riding and have the shock inspected by a qualified technician.
WARNING: A broken or malfunctioning shock may cause loss of vehicle control and result in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Do not modify your bike frame or shock. Use only genuine
FOX Racing Shox parts.
WARNING: Modification, improper service or use of aftermarket replacement parts voids the warranty and may cause the shock to malfunction, resulting in loss of
vehicle control and SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Follow service maintenance recommendations. Shock service
should be performed by FOX Racing Shox in the USA or an
Authorized Service Center outside the USA. The exception is
air sleeve maintenance and mounting hardware service, which
can be performed by the consumer or a dealer.
FOX Racing Shox contain a nitrogen charge. Do not pry out the
white nylon (plastic) plug at the body eyelet end of the shock.
The charged portion of the shock should only be opened by a
FOX Racing Shox technician.
WARNING: Opening a nitrogen pressurized shock is dangerous and can result in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
On air shocks, the portion of the shock charged with nitrogen
does not need to be opened to perform air sleeve
maintenance.
WARNING: Attempting to pull apart, open, disassemble, or service a shock that is in a “stuck down” condition can result in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
A “stuck down” condition results from a failure of the dynamic
air seal located between the positive and negative air
chambers within the shock air sleeve, resulting with the
negative chamber retaining a higher air pressure than the
positive chamber. To test whether the shock is in fact “stuck
down”:
1. Remove the air cap and depress the Schrader valve to completely release air pressure from the positive air chamber of the shock.
2. If shock body retracts into the air sleeve near bottom out after air is released from positive air chamber, attach a FOX Racing Shox high pressure hand pump and pressurize the
shock to 250 psi/17 bar.
3. If the shock does not fully extend, it is in fact “stuck down”.
WARNING: Any improper servicing procedure with FOX air shocks in the “stuck down” condition can lead to SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Contact FOX Racing Shox or an
Authorized Service Center for repair service.
After riding in salt-abundant areas (ocean coasts, desert salt
flats, salted roads in winter), FOX recommends completely
rinsing off your bicycle to prevent corrosion.
