Fox Live Valve is here, but you’ll have to wait for more details
We'd love to tell you more, but we're not allowed
Published:
Fox’s Live Valve damping technology has to be one of the most eagerly awaited bits of tech due to arrive this year. Electronic sensors combine with batteries and motors to automatically control the bike’s damping.
BikeRadar‘s Seb Stott has been lucky enough to ride the new system over in the US, but with a strict embargo in place, we can’t give you any details yet — you’ll have to wait until late August for that.
However, Scott had a Genius on its stand with the system all plugged in, so here is a gallery of pictures showing the system out in the wild. You’re welcome to make as many assumptions as you like from them!
Check back later next month for the full run-down.

Tom Marvin is a technical editor at BikeRadar.com and MBUK magazine. He has a particular focus on mountain bikes, but spends plenty of time on gravel bikes, too. Tom has written for BikeRadar, MBUK and Cycling Plus, and was previously technical editor of What Mountain Bike magazine. He is also a regular presenter on BikeRadar’s YouTube channel and the BikeRadar podcast. With more than twenty years of mountain biking experience, and nearly a decade of testing mountain and gravel bikes, Tom has ridden and tested thousands of bikes and products, from super-light XC race bikes through to the most powerful brakes on the market. Outside of testing bikes, Tom competes in a wide range of mountain bike races, from multi-day enduros through to 24-hour races in the depths of the Scottish winter – pushing bikes, components and his legs to their limits. He’s also worked out that shaving your legs saves 8 watts, while testing aerodynamics in a wind tunnel. When not riding he can be found at the climbing wall, in his garden or cooking up culinary delights.
