Vorsprung Suspension Presents Corset Air Sleeves for Fox Shocks
Nowadays there are plenty of different options for those, who want to tweak their suspension performance – and now there is one more. While most of the tuning companies try to optimize the internals of the forks and shocks, Vorsprung Suspension takes things a step further and offers a modified air sleeve for Fox shocks. More info in this press release:
Vorsprung Suspension is excited to announce the release of its new Corset air sleeves for Fox air shocks. After more than 2 years of development, the Vorsprung Corset air sleeves allow for far less initial resistance than a standard Fox air sleeve, coupled with substantially improved mid stroke support to eliminate that wallowy feel and initial harshness. Long story short, the Corset’s spring curve is now much closer to that of a coil shock.
Designed and tested in Whistler, BC, including racing prototypes in the EWS, the Corset is proudly made in Canada.
What the Corset offers
- Less initial resistance means better traction and small bump compliance
- More mid-stroke support
- Feels more like a coil shock
- Livelier, more predictable feel
- Better big-hit control
- No more preloaded initial feel
- No more wallowy midstroke
- Adjustable ending-stroke ramp using volume spacers (sold separately)
- Compatible with standard Fox air sleeve seals
- Easy to install – kit includes air shaft seals

- Fox Float R, RP, RP2, RP23, RP3, Triad (all years)
