Fox
Racing Shox's New Long Travel Float C
Shocks Weigh in at just 3.5 Pounds |
Watsonville, CA (11/30/2007)–
Fox Racing Shox recently announced that they would
be releasing two shock packages for mini quads
that are based on the 450 shock designs. According
to Fox’s Mark Duessell, Fox has been working
closely with DRR ATV’s to produce a product
that rivals that of the 450 quad shocks that have
been such a huge success.
“We think the air shocks are a great
idea for the mini quads. Kids grow so fast that
their needs are always changing and it really
takes a lot to keep their suspension dialed
in. Our air shocks provide easier adjustment
and are also very light weight compared to standard
shocks.” Stated Mark.
Fox has developed a long travel shock package
called the “Float C” that is based
on the full size shocks that go along with DC
long travel A-Arms. The long travel Float C’s
feature a piggyback reservoir with an external
adjustment that weighs just 3.5 pounds, which
is about half the weight of the competition’s
shocks. The only difference between the mini
shock and Fox’s full size shock is that
the mini shocks do not have an Evol chamber.
The long travel package also gives the option
of a rear shock, which is a mini Podium X standard
coil that is identical to the full size shock.
Fox’s standard mini shock package is
a basic Float shock that features an adjustable
air spring and weighs in at just 2 pounds. The
factory replacement rear shock will be a basic
air shock as well. “The mini’s are
so limited in the power that they produce so
we wanted to keep the shocks as lightweight
as possible.” Said Duessell.
The shock packages should be available by sometime
in late November with delivery by Christmas.
The shocks are only available for the DRR quads
at this point but will soon be available for
the Apex quads as well. Fox plans to expand
their line to include suspension packages for
just about every make and model of mini quad
in the near future.
