I am a member of Villanova University's first year FSAE team and we are in the market for FOX shocks or any similar mountain bike shocks.

Let me know if anybody has anything for sale

on this note, where do teams that use fox shocks (specifically vanilla rc's) get them? I'm looking for a good source, but I can't seem to find any in the bike world. do you buy them direct from fox and pay their uber-retail price?

Yea... uber-retail sounds about right. There are a few sites on the internet that have some for sale for around $300 each, but other than that I'm not sure where you'd get them cheaper. Last year's car wore a set of donated Fox Vanilla RC's for "research" purposes, and they're listed on the cost sheet at $112 each (yea right). This year we're running some air shock / spring setups on our dyno to try and avoid spending $1200 on a set of shocks.


Engineers aren't boring people, we just get excited about boring things.

Vanilla RC's are no longer produced.

They now offer the DHX and Vanilla R.

You can order direct from Fox, and the fsae price is $146.25, includes a spring, and whatever valving you need.
