Construction & Measurements:
New Crown: Lighter by 20 grams, while increasing steerer-tube overlap at the CSU, the new crown design improves durability while Fox's engineering maintains stiffness and drops weight.
Kabolt X Axle: Kabolt X, a lightweight bolt-on floating axle to shave grams and increase torsional stiffness via a sleeveless, single-sided pinch bolt design.
Lower Leg Bypass Channels: Increasing air volume within the lower legs reduces the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Lower leg bath oil also circulates to the upper reaches of the legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel.
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.
Lower Leg Bleeders: These little buttons allow for atmospheric pressure equalization for better fork performance, allowing full travel to be achieved and increasing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.
Ebike Optimized: FOX’s e-MTB Optimized forks not only receive the same special damper and air spring tune as their e-MTB Tuned forks, but they also receive beefed up aluminum alloy CSUs (Crown, Steerer, and Upper tubes) assemblies in order to meet internal stiffness and strength requirements, as well meeting or exceeding EN, ISO, and ASTM testing requirements for e-MTB use cases on Class 1, and Class 3 e-bikes with increased system weight ratings.
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.
Rotor Size: 180 Direct Post Mount, Up to 230 Compatible
Adjustments:
GRIP2 Damper: Fox's GRIP2 damper is the benchmark for unparalleled ride quality and ultra-precise on-the-fly adjustability. This fork has Fox's patented VVC technology in the high-speed compression circuit.
High-Speed Compression: 8-Clicks (VVC)
High-Speed Rebound: 8-Clicks (VVC)
Low-Speed Compression: 16 Clicks
Low-Speed Rebound: 16 Clicks
VVC (Variable Valve Control): VVC is a proprietary variable valve control system that allows for external fine-tuning of suspension performance. GRIP2 achieves with the twist of a knob what typically requires the time consuming and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork.
