FOX Factory partners with Valtech to unveil Silverado mobile app for customized, high-performance rides

juli 10, 2024

State-of-the-art technology puts unprecedented control in the hands of FOX Factory customers and ignites a new future for automotive mobile experiences

Valtech, the Experience Innovation company, and FOX Factory, the leading manufacturer of suspension and performance products for various vehicles, have collaborated to launch a cutting-edge mobile application and data platform in conjunction with the FOX Factory Silverado, a 700 hp limited edition turnkey super truck with FOX Factory’s 3.2 Factory Race Series Live Valve shocks.

Now, users can take control of the Silverado’s suspension management system via the app on their mobile devices and access key features, including the ability to:

• Tailor their vehicle’s ride to their desired performance characteristics in various terrains

• Tune suspension outputs for peak performance

• Record their rides

• Receive ride usage and statistics for maintenance and improved system health

• Download software updates for future enhancements

The Silverado suspension is controlled through FOX Factory’s revolutionary Live Valve suspension management system, which manages ride dynamics with new sensors, a controller, and Dual Live Valve series dampers. The platform detects real-time data from accelerating, braking, steering, and inertial sensors every few thousandths of a second and independently adjusts the Live Valve shock compression and rebound base valves to their optimal settings. The mobile app connects via Bluetooth to the ECU controller and enables FOX Factory to scale its connected suspension system by integrating across multiple product lines.
