Motocross aficionados recall 1974 as a rather transformative year. Suspension design was entering a period of modernization, the effects of which we see to this day, and FOX shocks namesake Bob Fox was about to get in on the action. His "FOX AirShox" prototype — a hand-built assembly spun up on a friend's mill and lathe — was campaigned on a Maico dirt bike that year and the rest, as they say, is off-roading history. He soon brought the FOX Twin-Clicker to the road racing scene with Eddie Lawson’s AMA Superbike National Championship-winning Kawasaki KZ1000R in 1982 — a season which saw every rider in the paddock on FOX suspension components.

Convinced yet? We thought so, and RevZilla is here to help bring your bike to the same level of performance. It’s safe to say that FOX racing shocks have set — and raised — the standard decade after decade and when you shop RevZilla, these race-grade components can be yours, too. FOX continues to innovate from its headquarters near Santa Cruz, California, providing comfort and control to motorcycles, bicycles, snowmobiles, UTVs and ATVs, race cars and plenty of other four-wheeled vehicles. Whether it’s FOX lift kits, shock absorbers, Harley shocks or dirt bike suspension components, this brand remains at the forefront of research, development, design and real-world action.

Those crucial early wins on classic MX tracks and road circuits would eventually help the brand change "the suspension landscape forever," as the official story goes, and FOX Factory shocks continue to deliver.
