Fox Flux Crash Replacement Policy

After a nasty stack on Friday night (4 broken ribs, sprained ankle, torn shoulder muscles and deep abrasions) I noticed a dent on my helmet (stop sniggering).

'Sadly' this requires a trip to the LBS. Does anyone know if Fox have a crash replacement policy on their helmets?

After a bit of googling it appears not...but has anyone got a different story?

PS - the bike is fine. Plus I can now seriously recommend POC armour.

    Pah the fact you didn't start by telling us the bike was ok made me almost cry, don't worry me like that agin.


    Glad your okish :D

    I don't think Fox do crash replacement hence why I've never ventured that way. I may be wrong happens a lot 8)


    What POC did you have on?
    I use all 9 inches.

    Cheers Bill.

    I was using the POC Bones leg armour....few scratches on the right knee pad but otherwise they did an awesome job.

    I'm certainly going to look at some arm pads after seeing the state of my right arm. Although my missus reckons I'll look like a stormtrooper.

    I have the 661 Race Knee/Shin looking at the POC back brace as I landed in a rock garden and my back almost broke into about 50000000 pieces lol

    If I didn't have any Armour already I'd get a whole POC setup it would look funkeh :P

    I *did* have a fox flux once, hit a rabbit on a road ride and speared the road head first (the top of so my lovely face was saved... :s).
    helmet was cracked, no worries most places do a crash replacement. but fox only do it for the US when i was looking. UK wouldn't do anything for me. hence my last 2 helmets have been giro so i know i can go with the crash replacement.
