The beginning of the company can be traced back to 1974 when its founder Geoff Fox a PhD teacher in Physics at The Santa Clara University began "Moto-X-Fox" a distribution business for European motocross parts and accessories. Within two years the company was manufacturing suspension and engine components for riders who wanted to gain an edge on the competition.
Through sponsoring and working closely with a number of riders the company built its reputation through the research and development of clothing that provides riders with protection, performance and freedom of movement.
In the spring of 1977, Geoff was determined to show the American motocross public that his products were superior to those of the traditional factory competition. He created his own privately-owned professional motocross team, Team Moto-X Fox. Going up against the Japanese factory teams, The Fox team riders became the top non-factory riders in the series, finishing fifth, sixth and seventh in the highly-competitive AMA 125 cc national championship series series.
Fox riders wore bright red, yellow and orange race outfits. The clothing became popular with fans and interested enthusiasts started visiting the Fox shop in Campbell, California asking about its availability. In 1980, Fox rider Mark Barnett won the company's first National Championship, and two years later, Brad Lackey won Fox 's first Motorcross World Championship.
In July 2006, Fox Racing decided to change its name to Fox Head Racing, Inc. The company has made great effort to go into other extreme and lifestyle sports markets from motocross, such as surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding.
Today, Fox remains a family owned and operated business.
