Fox Racing is an American extreme sports (primarily motocross and mountainbiking), protective equipment, and lifestyle-clothing brand founded in 1974. Fox is owned by Vista Outdoor.

History

The early histories of Fox Racing and Fox Racing Shox were intertwined. Fox Racing Shox is a brand of offroad-racing suspension components founded by Geoff Fox's brother, Bob Fox. Fox Racing Shox was originally owned by Moto-X Fox. In 1977 Bob's division split out as a separate company called Fox Factory.[1]

In July 2006, Fox Racing decided to change its corporate name to Fox Head.[2] The move was complete by the fall of that year. Fox decided such a change would help the brand further penetrate sporting venues aside from motocross, such as mountain bike, wake boarding, surfing; as well as expand into other products.

Peter Fox was named CEO in 2008, with Greg Fox remaining on the board of directors.[3] Peter Fox subsequently left the company, but rejoined when Fox Head was acquired by Altamont Capital Partners in 2014, leaving the founder and his son in charge of the company.[3][4]

In July 2022, it was announced that Fox Racing would be acquired by Vista Outdoor for $540 million. [5]

Fox Racing entered the shoe business in early 2022 with the introduction of Union shoe line designed for bicyclists.[6]

In 2023, Vista Outdoor began to integrate brands such as Bell and Giro into the Action Sports division with Fox Racing.[7]
