The latest FOX 38 is built around a more refined approach to stiffness, using a chassis that is stiffer fore aft for better tracking and control while being slightly less torsionally stiff to improve compliance and traction. This gives the fork a more planted feel when charging hard through rough terrain, while helping it adapt to trail chatter and off camber impacts with less rider fatigue. Expanded bushing overlap, increased from 120mm to 140mm, works with newly generative designed lower legs to reduce friction and improve small bump sensitivity, helping the fork stay smoother and more composed at speed and under heavy load.
Suspension performance is further elevated by the updated GRIP X2 damper and new GlideCore air spring system, which together improve support, tunability and terrain tracking without losing the supple feel expected from a top tier FOX fork. An MCU bottom out bumper adds more control on bigger hits, while updated bleeders and relocated bypass channels help maintain more consistent performance on long and demanding descents. With 170mm travel, 44mm offset, 15 x 110 KaboltX axle spacing and compatibility with large rotors and 2.6in tyres, the FOX 38 Factory GRIP X2 is built to deliver premium suspension performance for riders pushing hard in aggressive enduro and all mountain terrain.
