Construction & Measurements:
1.5" Tapered Aluminum Steerer
Kashima Coated Stanchions: The smoothest of the smooth, plus it looks cooler. The gold Kashima coating has become synonymous with friction-free suspension actuation, and it's only available on Fox Factory components.
32mm Stanchions: Developed in conjunction with emergent gravel bike designs, the 32 Taper-Cast features a sleek drop crown profile and new knob shapes that drastically improve downtube clearance, for fitment on all frame sizes and styles. A sleek, reverse arch design further improves fitment, decreases frontal area for better aerodynamics and provides stiffness through the arch matrix design.

40 / 50mm Travel
New Lower Leg Channels: As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Fox's lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel.
Features:
FLOAT EVOL Air Spring: EVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimizing small bump sensitivity. EVOL’s linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tunable bottom-out progression.

FIT4 Damper: In its fourth generation, this patented closed cartridge system provides 3 on-the-fly compression damping positions--open, medium, and firm--to adapt to varying trail conditions. This Factory Series model also has 22 clicks of low-speed compression in Open mode, along with 10 clicks of low-speed rebound, all of this is on top of initial air spring pressure and volume spacer compatibility, making for a very tunable setup.
