FOX has a long relationship with the color gold. It represents winning, the shiny finish on trophies, what World Champions wear around their neck on the top step of the podium. And since we introduced Genuine Kashima Coat on our suspension products in 2011, the gold shine has also been synonymous with Factory series forks, shocks and dropper posts.
In 2024, to celebrate 50 Years of pushing potential further, we decided to give our Factory series fork lowers the gold treatment as well. The color—which we call Podium Gold—was applied to a limited run of forks for our athletes, industry partners and customers to proudly mount on their bikes.
Take a look below at how Podium Gold forks have shown up so far during the 2024 race season.
