This week we’re joined by Fox Racing’s Head of Performance Cut and Sew, Keegan Reyfeldt to hear about their SpeedSuit RS which was launched last year and really got the internet talking. We’re also hearing about the development of their all new full face helmet, the Rampage RS with Senior Director of Merchandising, Jarred Law.

This week we’re joined by Fox Racing’s Head of Performance Cut and Sew, Keegan Reyfeldt to hear about their SpeedSuit RS which was launched last year and really got the internet talking. We’re also hearing about the development of their all new full face helmet, the Rampage RS with Senior Director of Merchandising, Jarred Law.
Fox is keen to push the limits of technology to make us faster, safer and more comfortable. That is evidenced in these two products and this is a fascinating deep dive into what went into these two ground breaking offerings.
Hear how Fox worked alongside their athletes to redefine downhill race kit, the advantages it brings and how they are already looking to the next step. We find out how Fox decided current helmet safety standards weren’t keeping up with the increasing pace of the sport and how they remedied that whilst also significant reducing the weight of their full face offering.
This episode really pulls back the curtain on what it takes to push the limits of riding gear. We kick off with Keegan to discuss the SpeedSuit and then hand it over to Jarred to cover the Rampage RS in a little under half an hours time. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Keegan Reyfeldt and Jarred Law.
