Oh, and I would take a Giro helmet over a Bell helmet anyday. My Xen fits better than any other helmet I've tried on, and the Remedy is a solid bucket too.

And they look better to boot! Although this year Bell has stepped up the graphics.

Fox Suspension and Fox clothing used to be the same company. Owned by brothers. They split in the mid 90's I believe.

They are not the same company, they have no influence on each other in any way.

I know one of the brothers Fox is named Bob Fox. I just can't remember who the other brother is.

Trust me they are not the same in any way.

haha, I don't think several pb guys would pull that on someone. I'm pretty sure they were always two different companies and I'm 100% positive they are two different companies now. They have different logos and everything...

Okay you're kind of right. There isn't a Fox Industries, they are two different companies all together. Just because they started way back then doesn't mean they're together now. For example, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs started together working with Microsoft, then Jobs left to make Apple. They are two different companies that started together, and do not share profits. Same with Fox Racing and Fox Racing Shox. Started together, are now apart.

Yes, yes I do as a matter of fact.
When I applied for some stickers for Fox, the non-racing shox company, i congratulated them on their shocks. I got this as a reply:
*We are Fox Racing, the sports and apparell company. Fox Racing Shox is a completely different company. Thank you, Crystal

I win.Big Grin
