Quick look: New FOX Enduro Off-Road riding gear range
FOX have revealed their new range of enduro and off-road gear sets and all-new Motion X boots –this is riding kit designed for people who spend hours, not minutes, riding their dirt bikes.
The new, three-strong range of FOX off-road gearsets – labelled Defend, Ranger and Recon – has those of us who ride enduro, trail and off-road at its core.
If pinks and neons colours are your thing that’s fine of course but others prefer to ride in colours more like regular outdoor clothing designed for dirt bikes. But frankly it makes a change these last few years to find some gear sets all in more regular colour choices shall we say rather than throwbacks to the ‘80s.
If you want the more racy end of the scale – lighter and better vented pants and jerseys – FOX of course do that too. But the full Off-Road range has different styles, construction materials and technical options to suit people who spend hours, not minutes, on their bikes.
That means tougher construction in the pants, use of different materials (windstopper/water resistant) front to back of a jersey, practical placement of pockets in riding pants or location of zips in gilets or jackets for example.
The range is huge naturally and as we said, spreads across the three Defend, Ranger and Recon lines. With that in mind we cannot write and give details about every single item – that’s available via the FOX landing page here.
But we have pulled out details about some of the new gears sets for men and women, and the new boots below…
