FOX Academy Videos Help Off-Roaders Get Schooled On Shocks

FOX Academy just arrived on the scene. The website offers shock absorber how-to videos that explain how shocks work and how to adjust your suspension system for best results. FOX Powered Vehicle Group Director of Marketing Aaron Freitas said, “FOX Academy was developed​ ​to be our central digital location to educate customers about suspension technology, and a place we can also support our aftermarket and major OEM launches with in-depth product education.”

Created by FOX Factory Inc., one of the world’s premier high-performance shock absorber manufacturers, FOX Academy is a free source of easy-to-understand shock absorber how-to videos that help new and experienced off-road enthusiasts learn the basic principles of suspension science.

Currently available videos on FOX Academy include a complete explanation of shock and terminology (Getting to Know Your Shocks) so you can speak the language of suspension; an inside look (Why You Need Shocks) at how a shock works and why it’s a critical component in a suspension system; and a peek at Fox Factory’s Intelligent Quick Switch (iQS) system (What is FOX iQS?) that provides an electronically controlled, shift-on-the-fly adjustable shock setup for Jeep JKs, snowmobiles, and UTVs.

Another FOX Factory video is a step-by-step walkthrough (What’s a Shock Service?) of how to properly service a high-performance mountain bike shock. There is also explanation of the Live Valve (What is FOX Live Valve?) self-regulating electronically controlled suspension system for mountain bikes, trucks, and UTVs; and a complete examination (FOX GRIP2 Damper Explained) of FOX Racing’s variable valve control that delivers a custom tune for some of its high-end mountain bike shock/forks.

The six currently available (at the time of this publication) videos are easy-to-understand and make advanced and in-depth subjects available to everyone. More FOX Academy shock absorber and suspension system videos will be launched on a monthly basis. To stay on the cutting edge of shock technology, stay tuned to FOX Academy.
