Episode 78: Bryan Harrold

In this episode of the Off-Road Racer Podcast, I sit down with Bryan Harrold, Motorsports Program Manager at Fox Factory. From growing up in the pits of Plaster City to helping guide one of the most influential brands in off-road racing, Bryan’s path has been built on creativity, consistency, and a deep understanding of the culture. We dig into Bryan’s early days photographing desert races, his creative path, and how mentors like John Marking helped guide him into his current role at Fox — where he now bridges the gap between engineering, marketing, and racing culture. Bryan also talks about the groundbreaking evolution of Live Valve technology, Fox’s expansion into international racing like Extreme E and Dakar, and the importance of supporting grassroots racing through programs like contingency and 1600 class incentives.
