It’s no secret that we have been getting along famously with a lot of the recent Fox Racing gear. Both materials and workmanship have been evolving at a rapid pace over the past couple of years, to the point where the whole range is a lot lighter and a lot more technical than it ever was before. But in pursuit of all this lightness, it seemed like a slightly burlier option was now missing, as even the DH-rated Flexair stuff is nowadays more race-oriented than parkrat-optimized.
