FOX Introduces New FLOAT AirShox Watsonville, CA. March 18, 2003: The innovative engineers at FOX Racing Shox out West in California have just completed development on a brand-new line of shock absorbers for snowmobiles that literally FLOAT on Air. So, say bye-bye to your heavy stock shocks and springs, and hello to FOX's new FLOAT AirShox. The patented design of the FLOAT (Fox Load Optimizing Air Technology) AirShox offers everyone, from the hardcore hill climber and snocross racer to the trail-touring consumer, a ride equal to being on a cushion of air. Unlike heavy conventional stock shocks with coil springs, the ultra-lightweight FLOAT AirShox offers the same raceproven high- performance damping FOX Racing Shox have become famous for, while also giving you the added feature of being able to infinitely adjust the spring rate and preload with air to accommodate any riders weight and type of riding. On the tech side, the FLOAT AirShox features a mono-tube aluminum hard-anodized body, adjustable air volume sleeve, race-proven piston design, adjustable force sensitive shim damping system, and a hard-chrome shaft. They are, of course, revalvable and rebuildable. The FLOAT design incorporates a proprietary sealing system that virtually eliminates the possibility of water contaminating the oil in the shock, which means less rebuilds and more fun riding. And here's the best part; for all you weight-weenies out there who'd gladly sell your sister to shed a pound off your sled, a pair of FLOAT AirShox will save you around 4 to 6 lbs. compared to your stock shocks with springs. Another huge advantage of the FLOAT AirShox is its unique and innovative progressive spring rate design (starts off soft and gets progressively harder into the travel). This simply means the ride of the shock is much smoother over small bumps and feels bottomless over the big hits. Most front ski applications only require 40 to 80 psi of air to achieve the ideal spring rate. All FLOAT AirShox will come with a FREE 90-day revalving guarantee and a 1 -year limited factory warranty. The FLOAT AirShox system will include two front ski FLOAT Airshox (with mounting hardware) and a FOX HP (high- pressure) Air Pump. The HP Pump has a range of 0-300psi and is so compact in size that it can easily be stored in your jacket pocket for use on the trail. FLOAT AirShox are targeted for release in September 2003. Check with your local dealer or order directly from FOX for a variety of high performance Sno-X, Mountain and Trail applications. Pricing has not been finalized yet, but a pair of FLOAT AirShox (w/pump) will most likely run around $695.00 (MSRP) Call 800-FOX-SHOX or visit us on the web: wwwfoxracingshox.com The FLOAT AirShox will be introduced to the public and used in competition for the first time at this year's World-Famous Jackson Hole Hill Climb by riders like Tucker Hibbert, Kirk Hibbert, and Rick Ward on March 27-31. FOX will have our Race Support Semi Trailer and Technical staff on-hand to answer any questions.
