FOX 38 Factory GRIP X2 29" Fork | 170mm Travel, Kabolt 15x110 Boost, 44mm Offset
High-Performance Enduro & All-Mountain MTB Fork | Precision, Power, Control
The FOX 38 Factory GRIP X2 29" fork sets a new benchmark for Enduro and aggressive All-Mountain mountain biking, delivering exceptional control, responsiveness, and confidence on demanding terrain. Redesigned for MY27, this latest FOX 38 combines advanced suspension technology with refined chassis dynamics to create a fork that is smoother, faster, and more composed at speed.
- Advanced Enduro MTB suspension fork with 170mm travel
- Balanced stiffness design for control and compliance
- Increased bushing overlap (140mm) for smoother, more stable performance
- Low-friction generative lower leg design for enhanced sensitivity
- Inspired by FOX Podium fork technology
- Built for aggressive riders demanding speed, grip, and confidence
Inspired by the race-proven design of the FOX Podium fork, the new FOX 38 offers a perfectly balanced ride feel, giving riders the confidence to push harder on technical descents and rough trails.
Optimised Chassis Performance | Stiff Where It Matters
The MY27 FOX 38 fork has been engineered with a precise stiffness balance to maximise performance:
- +8.8% increased fore-aft stiffness for improved tracking and high-speed control
- -6.8% reduced torsional stiffness for enhanced compliance and grip
This refined design ensures the fork stays planted under heavy loads while adapting to trail conditions, reducing rider fatigue and improving overall handling on aggressive terrain.
Enhanced Sensitivity & Reduced Friction
A major upgrade to the FOX 38 Factory fork is the expanded 140mm bushing overlap, increasing from 120mm for greater stability and smoother performance under load. Combined with generatively designed lower legs, this reduces friction and significantly improves small-bump sensitivity, ensuring a controlled, plush ride even at high speeds and over rough ground.
Advanced Suspension Technology
- GRIP X2 damper for precise tuning, maximum control, and downhill-level performance
- Optional GRIP X damper for versatile trail and enduro riding
- GlideCore air spring system with vertical and horizontal compliance for superior traction
- MCU bottom-out bumper for improved impact absorption on big hits
- Updated bleeders and bypass channels for consistent damping performance
Compatibility & Integration
- Compatible with FOX 36 and 36 SL mudguards
- Designed for Enduro, aggressive trail, and All-Mountain MTB riding
- Optimised for modern long-travel 29” mountain bikes
The FOX 38 Factory GRIP X2 29" fork is the ultimate choice for riders seeking a high-performance Enduro fork that delivers downhill capability with all-mountain versatility. With cutting-edge damping, improved chassis dynamics, and enhanced sensitivity, this fork is engineered to dominate technical descents, rough trails, and high-speed riding.
