We know the feeling—chasing that perfect balance of plush support and race-ready control on rough descents. That’s why we’re excited about the 2025 Fox 38 Grip X Damper Upgrade Kit. Built by Fox Racing Shox, the GRIP X is rooted in the performance heritage of the GRIP2 damper but with a lighter and simpler approach. The GRIP X gives us independent High- and Low-Speed Compression adjustment, plus Low-Speed Rebound tuning through its refined Variable Valve Control (VVC) system. Shedding 120 grams compared to the GRIP2, it keeps the front end nimble without giving up the stability we crave. Designed to work seamlessly with any 2020 and newer Fox 38 fork, it’s the ultimate upgrade for aggressive trail, enduro, and gravity riders looking to tune their suspension to perfection without overcomplicating the ride.
