Fox 38 Factory 2022 Float GRIP2 BOOST MTB Suspension Fork 29”

With the introduction of the FOX 38, the US suspension specialists closed the gap in their in-house numbering system and presented a new weapon for Enduro, Freeride and rougher E-MTB use.
The forks of the Factory Series are cutting edge for the toughest Enduro race tracks around the globe and are extensively tested by professional FOX athletes in the Enduro World Series even before market launch.

However, you can also benefit from its extra stiffness and professional technological developments on your home trails. Because in addition to the new 38 mm upper tubes, FOX has ensured that special channels in the casting improve the lubrication of the upper bushings and foam rings, which ensures consistently good response. What’s more, bleeding valves were integrated in the lower fork tubes. With the simple press of the Air-Release button, you can adjust the air pressure inside the casting to match the ambient pressure. This ensures consistent performance and optimal travel use. A particularly practical feature if you often take the lift to higher trail starts.

Moreover, the lower leg arch is rounded and jutting forward to ensure outstanding stiffness values and provide ample head tube clearance. This is a great advantage with today's modern voluminous head tubes, with shorter offsets and when using Reach-Adjust headsets, as it avoids a collision between the head tube and the lower leg arch.

Details:
• Factory model
