Fork FOX 38 Factory Grip X2 29" Racing Green Limited 2026 170mm

Enduro specialist with big strokes!

The Float 38 enduro fork, designed for modern and uncompromising super enduro riding. Could a 2mm larger inner diameter really make that much of a difference? FOX says it does. But of course, it's more than just those 2mm.

The “Factory” name says it all. The best technologies FOX has to offer are available in the Factory Series models, including our ultra-durable original Kashima Coat, which ensures the fork runs buttery smooth.

TECHNOLOGIES:

GripX2 is the most adjustable, supportive and smooth suspension designed for enduro and DH that FOX has ever developed. It has a long travel and creates maximum ground contact as well as great traction in corners. This gives riders a lot of confidence to push themselves to the max in downhill and enduro races while reducing muscle fatigue. GripX2 makes a huge difference.

Float: The lightweight FLOAT air suspension system automatically balances positive and negative air chambers for increased responsiveness and traction regardless of air pressure setting. Riders can fine-tune the positive air spring characteristics with Volume Air inserts.

Bleeders: Forks have bleeder valves at the back of the lower legs that allow you to equalize the pressure in the fork legs with atmospheric pressure. Different pressure in the fork reduces the sensitivity of the suspension, so you can equalize it by simply pressing the valve with your finger. The pressure in the legs is changes mainly at higher temperatures, e.g. during intensive use on long descents or at high altitudes.

Lower Leg Channels: New air-oil channels allow trapped air in the lower legs to pass through the slide bushings. The channels' second function is to allow oil from the lower legs to reach the upper seals, keeping them freshly lubricated.

Floating Axle: The new axle system prevents the parallelism of the fork legs from being affected by the different width of the front hub. Perfect alignment reduces friction during suspension, which is more efficient and smoother. The mechanism on the right fork leg can be adjusted exactly to your hub width and eliminates leg compression when retracting the axle.

Lower Leg Arch: The bridge between the lower legs has a new rounded shape, increasing the stiffness of the fork while also creating more space between the bridge and the bike frame when the fork is fully compressed.
