Fox Racing’s new Lunar Collection shines when the days get shorter and the temps start to drop.
Fox RacingWelcome to Talking Points, a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios.
It could be argued that fall is the ultimate mountain biking season.
After a summer full of big rides, you’re likely in the best shape of the year. Autumn showers and cooler temps transform dusty trails into ribbons of brown pow. But the changing season also presents some challenges, like shorter days and colder temps.
Fox Racing’s new Lunar Collection was designed to meet those challenges and help you maximize your time on dirt this fall. Here’s everything you need to know about this fresh seasonal drop.

The Lunar Collection: Where day meets night
Fall riding is won in the margins. That means dawn patrol rides that start before the sun rises and late afternoon spins that end in the dark. Or facing weather conditions that can feel like summer and winter, all in the course of a single ride.
Designed to tackle both the time and temperature shifts the season brings, this collection can help you maximize every second on dirt with reflective features for nighttime visibility and technical performance that works on and off the bike.
The Lunar Collection spans the full range of riding apparel and accessorize, from helmets and gloves to socks, jerseys, and pants.
Our favorites from the Lunar Collection
If we had to pick just three pieces from this collection, our cart would consist of the Speedframe Pro Lunar Helmet, Ranger Lunar Drirelease® Mid-Long Sleeve Jersey, and Ranger Pant.

Everything you love about the standard Speedframe Pro with added reflective details for nighttime visibility. This MIPS-equipped lid is as safe as they come, earning a five-star rating from Virginia Tech. Plus, thanks to its 360-degree fit system, it’s mega comfortable to boot.

Also sporting reflective details for low-light visibility, this jersey provides technical performance on — and off — the bike. Its Drirelease yarns wick moisture and dry four times faster than cotton, and the full garment utilizes recycled fabrics.

Keeping with the Lunar line’s ethos, this special-edition Ranger Pant sports thoughtfully integrated reflectivity and provides plenty of performance, whether you’re pedaling or recappin your ride at the watering hole. The adjustable, cinch-and-snap waist closure provides a custom, easily adjustable fit while two zippered hand pockets stash everything you need for a ride.
Our POV: This is the kit for fall shredding
If the challenges that come with the changing season have historically kept you off the bike, take this as your sign to make this the year of fall riding. Decked out in a Lunar Collection, protected from the elements and visible during low-light rides, the only barriers you’ll need to overcome will be self-imposed.
