FOX Racing Shox 38 Float Performance Elite 29in Grip X2 Fork Matte Black, Kabolt, 170mm, 44mm Rake

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I put the 38 Float Performance Elite GRIP X2 through a full season of enduro riding and the updated damper internals are a real step forward. The bigger base valve and higher valve count make the fork noticeably more sensitive at the top of the stroke without sacrificing support when things get heavy mid-travel. It rides nearly identically to the Factory build at a friendlier price point, and the only thing you are giving up is the Kashima coat.""Rocky chutes and blown-out berms have a way of separating capable forks from truly great ones. The Fox Shox 38 Float Performance Elite GRIP X2 Fork belongs firmly in the second category, bringing premium enduro performance to riders who demand a front end that stays composed and communicative when the trail turns relentless. FOX built the Performance Elite series to sit just below the Factory tier in finish while matching it nearly step for step in outright performance. The redesigned GRIP X2 damper is the headline here, replacing the previous Grip 2 unit with a larger diameter base valve and triple the valve stack count for lower operating pressures, sharper sensitivity across the stroke, and a wider tuning range than ever before. Paired with the FLOAT EVOL air spring, the fork delivers exceptional small bump response alongside firm, confident mid-stroke support when the terrain demands it. Independent high and low speed compression and rebound circuits give you the tools to dial the fork precisely for your weight, riding style, and trail conditions. The stout 38mm aluminum stanchions and revised crown and arch geometry maintain the torsional stiffness the 38 platform is known for, while integrated lower leg bleeders keep positive and negative air chambers balanced throughout the ride."
