In 1974, Bob Fox set out on a quest to redefine motocross suspension believing that there had to be a better solution. In 1976, Kent Howerton won the 500cc AMA Motocross National Championship on FOX AirShox and Marty Smith backed it up in 1977—we haven’t looked back since and continue to rack up wins.
