Fox Racing Shox sponsored Athletes at the Olympic Games.

August 20, 2008

Published by brule


FOX Racing Shox would like to congratulate their sponsored Athletes who will be racing in the Beijing Olympics Mountain Bike event August 22 and 23. The athletes will be riding a range of Cross-Country forks in the event. “We test and work with our athletes all year, they all have different preferences on how they want their suspension to be set-up and we work with them so they can get the most out of their suspension,” stated Mark Fitzsimmons, Race Manager.

Several of the athletes will be riding prototype dampers with FOX's inertia valve technology. “We have been working with athletes to develop the next generation inertia valve and some of the athletes felt it provided such a performance advantage they had to have it for the biggest race of their career,” said Fitzsimmons. Athletes on standard production product will be racing on FOX Racing Shox new 2009 F Series with Remote Lockout Forks.

FOX Racing Shox sponsored Athletes racing in Beijing:

Adam Craig // Team Giant // Prototype 100mm X Fork
Georgia Gould // Team LunaChix // Prototype 100mm X Fork
Catherine Pendrel // Team LunaChix // Prototype 100mm X Fork

Seamus McGrath // Team Fuji // F 100 RL Remote Fork

Jared Graves, a World-Cup Down Hill racer on the Yeti/FOX squad will be racing in the inaugural BMX event in Beijing.

FOX Racing Shox would like to wish all of their athletes the best of luck.
