This has come up several times and could have been answered by using the "search" button at the top right of your screen.

The answer is that it is pronounced like: Fooks.

I believe that PUCH was a bike produced in Austria.
The end-CH is very gutteral, hard to describe.

Fooxs is close enough for FUCHS.
Singular is the same as plural since it's a brand-name:
1 Fuchs wheel
2 Fuchs wheels.

For the animal fox (Fuchs) it's different:
1 Fuchs
2 Fuechse

Want to try some French?
How about the car "Peugot"?
Can be fun.
Pjoogat?

Is there a difference between Fooks and Foox? Sounds the same to me.

Yes. But you spelled it wrong. It's Schurche. Pronounced "schurcha", as in Porsche.

Fuchs kinda rhymes with cooks, books, looks, rooks nooks, hooks, brooks - though may vary depending on where in Germany you are I believe.

If only one wheel, it's one Fuchs, not one Fuch.
