Pedal up, then make room for the descent

The FOX Transfer SL Factory dropper lets you lower the saddle when you need more room to move, then raise it for pedalling. Twelve gears and a 34T chainring let you change ratios as the trail rises and falls, using a single shifter.

Suspension for the route you ride

The FOX Factory 32 Step-Cast Float FIT4 fork provides 100 mm of travel, with 100 mm at the rear wheel. Use the remote suspension lockout for smoother climbs or a sprint, then reopen the suspension for uneven ground.

Inspect the bike after a hard impact and stop riding if you find looseness, cracks or damage. Have any problem checked and repaired before riding again.

Wear a properly fitted helmet and suitable protective pads. Read our important information before buying and using a bike for assembly, servicing and riding checks.
