Fox has announced the limited-edition release of three 'stealth' forks, all with black paint, black decals, and black anodized adjustment knobs and in the company's top-end Factory spec with Kashima-coated stanchions. Retail price is the same as the standard forks but interested parties should act fast because once they're gone, they're gone.

Fox will offer three of its flagship forks in a limited-edition 'stealth' color scheme: fox will offer three of its flagship forks in a limited-edition 'stealth' color scheme

Fox is insistent that this is truly a limited run despite the fact that the treatment essentially only consists of a few decals and knobs. We're hopeful nonetheless that this will eventually become a standard option. International pricing and availability is still to be announced.

"It really is just decals and knobs – and top caps so there’s no silver hiding under the knobs," said Fox global marketing and communications manager Mark Jordan. "But it’ll be limited to just these single runs of each model because it requires a lot more effort on our end to manage the parts. It's just a single run of them worldwide."
