rim, measure the following three
dimensions.

Do not use a tire if ANY measurement exceeds the maximum
dimensions shown above. Using tires larger than the dimen-
sions

or fatal injury.

Brakes
Linear-pull Brakes
Linear-pull brakes (i.e. V-brakes) can be used on FOX FORX. Use only the FOX brake posts supplied with the fork.
Install brake posts and torque to 80 in-lbs. Install and adjust linear-pull brakes according to the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations. Test brakes for proper operation on flat land. FOX FORX use a
hangerless lower leg
design and cannot
use any cantilever style brakes.
Disc Brakes

Do not use DH rotors larger than 180mm.
Install
disc brakes and torque all fasteners according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Install, route and check that all
cables or hydraulic hoses are securely fastened to the lower leg and will not move during compression of the fork. Test
brakes for proper operation on flat land.
Maintenance
Performance, safety and the life-span of your FOX FORX depend on maintenance. If you ride in extreme conditions,
service and maintain your FOX FORX more frequently.

damaged. Please contact your local dealer or FOX Racing Shox for further inspection and repair.
