頻率控制閥門(FCV,Frequency Control Valve)是BOS最新註冊的一項專利技術。在過去幾年,BOS已經將這項技術使用在摩托競賽中,尤其是在越野Off Road項目(拉力賽、直線加速賽與越野機車),就像達卡賽裡Carlos Sainz的SMG Red Bull賽車。
「BOS已經在摩托運動中成功地使用FCV技術好幾年,但是要把它用在世界盃下坡賽的登山車上,是一項刺激的挑戰。」
BOS MTB創辦人Olivier Bossard這樣說。之所以採用FCV技術,就是要符合登山車騎士的需求,在這背後是BOS總部裡無數的研發時程。這項技術經過兩個賽季在場上由資深的選手研發,加上賽季外以BOS自家資料感測系統收集資料。到目前為止,避震設定通常都是在抓地力、效率、舒適度、支撐力與吸震力這幾項之間取得妥協。而FCV技術現在正以革命性的方式,將第二組阻尼系統設計進入前叉中。FCV能帶給騎乘者習慣的「BOS感」,也就是提供前所未見的舒適感與細微吸震靈敏度。
FCV閉鎖狀態
FCV開放狀態
FCV是個聰明的系統,它能夠判斷是從騎士下壓車把或是從輪子傳來的前叉壓縮。FCV能夠明顯區隔兩者差異,同時這項技術能夠大幅過濾從前叉傳來的衝擊。
幾項FCV預期帶來的效果• 滑順手感
• 減低手掌與手臂的疲勞
• 更有效吸收銳角衝擊
• 減低蛇咬機率
• 在煞車坑上更舒適
• 減低手把下沉現象
接下來應該能看見BOS將FCV技術應用在不同的型號的產品上。全新設計的Idylle Rare價格即將公布

- waited 9 months to get a spring ?? Crazy!!!
- I had my fork sent in 3 x's for the same issue
- Near impossible to get a hold of-- would occasionally respond if they feel like it
- I bought a new Idylle Air, before even riding it-- tons of play within stanchions after mounting it, I have to pay to have it warranty repaired in the first week???
- Then they hired a shady US Rep who ended up doing some shady stuff (wont go into details) , and he bails out of the office. ALL of the customer suspension repairs and warranty's were left behind abandoned!!!!! . after 2.5 months of emails, I finally get a response from headquarters, and they said he was "sick." Then it took another 4-6 weeks after bombarding them with more emails to get my older fork back from warranty repair (3rd time). AND they tried charging me $50 on top of all that cuz their rep stripped one of my bolts- I came unglued !!! so a total of 4 months to get my fork
- And the best they can do after all this (and more) is offer me a 25% discount on buying new forks and rear shock!!??
- Recommendation. Get Fox, upgrade w/ Avalanche internals (same internals w/ more options), or Ohlins-- they are branching out with more stuff in the near future.
