I got a simple question, whats the little red thing on the right fork leg...right under the "X" in "FOX"

it measures the ammount of travel used for tuning and performance purposes. Smile

I don't know what they are called but it's a little device that is picked up through the splits times and finish lines to get perfect accurate times. All the riders have them.

Great, which one of the two answers is correct lol

I thought it was a speedo?

When downhilling at speeds like these, you wouldn't have the time to watch how fast you're going haha!
