Fox Racing launches shiny new 2016 DH-FLEXAIR collection

It uses Fox’s Trudri (c)  and Trumotion (c) fabrics, and is (according to the release, at any rate) is “lighter, more comfortable, more durable and offers more proven performance than any other product on the market.” Well, alrighty then. It’s certainly quite the party outfit, and no mistake.

FLEXAIR apparently carries over from Supercross, where those motorized people with big brappy bikes (BRAAAAP, BRAAAAP), especially one Ryan Dungley, have been running the gear, ad schralping the gnar (or whatever the Supercross equivalent is) successfully in it. It’s then been DH MTB tested through the 2015 World Cup season (hello Steve Smith and the good Mr Ratboy) before hot-footing it’s way to us, the lovely punters.

Mike REdding is Director of MTB Marketing at Fox.“Maintaining our position as the world’s number one brand in motocross means we’re constantly innovating, and the gear we’re designing for the champions of the track gives us the opportunity to share cutting edge technology with mountain athletes.”

Fox also say they’re chuffed to bits to announce that “the new FLEXAIR gear entirely convinced the 40-people strong award team to be chosen as a winner of the Design & Innovation Award 2016.” Go them!

Barney Marsh

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.
