⟩ How often should I service my suspension?
Regular maintenance of your products will increase its performance and lifespan. It is recommended that your fork, shock or seat post receive a Full Factory Service every 125hrs or yearly - which ever comes first*
Suspension product will require more frequent servicing the harder they are worked. For those who ride lift-accessed DH, Park, or Extreme Freeride or in extremely wet/muddy or dry/dusty environmental conditions where trail debris is sprayed onto the fork or shock while on the trail, or e-mtb's, FOX encourages riders to perform maintenance earlier than recommended above as needed.
⟩ Is there an advantage to getting my fork serviced by FOX?
In-house FOX technicians are the only factory trained and authorized FOX suspension technicians in Australia. Moreover, all services include a full teardown and rebuild - ensuring that no seal or component is left unchecked.
⟩ Do I need to ship my product in? What if I'm local?
All customers are required to send their products in via the post. We cannot accept products that are dropped off
⟩ Where can I find a proper sized box for shipping?
Forks come in different sizes based on chassis and travel. We use a 36x10x6" to accommodate all fork sizes. 10x6x6" for all shocks and 24x6x6" for all dropper posts. Alternatively, you can ship your suspension in any box that fits your suspension parts that you feel comfortable shipping.

There's an online portal for your local bike shop to submit the request if you would rather let them take care of it, start to finish.
⟩ Do I need shipping insurance?
It's up to you. Most of the time, shipping is not a problem and we recommend checking with your shipping company to see if shipping insurance is included with your shipment choice.
