What Fox Racing does

Fox Racing, operating legally as Fox Head, Inc., is a privately held designer and distributor of protective gear, apparel, and accessories for motocross and mountain biking. Founded in 1974 by Geoff Fox and headquartered in Irvine, California, the company sells helmets, boots, jerseys, pants, gloves, goggles, body protection, and lifestyle apparel under the Fox Racing brand alongside sub-brands Fox LAB (premium performance), DNGR (street and urban), and Pro Circuit (motocross parts and accessories). The company is owned by Revelyst Adventure Sports, LLC, with Jeffrey McGuane serving as Chief Executive Officer, Jenny Pérez as Chief Digital and Marketing Officer, and Tanya Fischesser as Chief Financial Officer. Headcount is reported in the 251-500 range.

Fox Racing's product technology is built around a stack of third-party materials and safety integrations rather than proprietary in-house platforms: helmets incorporate MIPS rotational impact protection and dual-density EPS liners (notably the V3 RS and Proframe MTB models), while apparel integrates D3O impact protection, CORDURA durability fabrics, Polartec performance materials, and COOLMAX moisture management. The Fox LAB premium collection and Flexair fabric line represent higher-tier product extensions targeting performance-focused buyers. The company has assembled a broad licensed fanwear portfolio covering Honda, Kawasaki, and Pro Circuit racing team brands.

Fox Racing generates revenue through unit-priced direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales via foxracing.com (with a UK storefront at foxracing.co.uk), supplemented by an authorized dealer network serving the United States, Europe, and select international markets including Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, and Costa Rica. Products are priced from roughly $25 for basic accessories to above $500 for premium helmets and technical outerwear. Customer retention is supported by the Podium Club tiered rewards program (Bronze, Silver, Gold), which also drives email and SMS marketing. The company raised a $95 million senior secured credit facility from Wingspire Capital in May 2021 to refinance debt and fund growth initiatives.
