Fox 38 K Float 29" Factory 170 Grip2 Tapered Boost Fork

The Fox 38 K Float 29" Factory Boost with Kashima Coat coating and an improved GRIP2 cartridge is a lightweight suspension fork with 170mm travel, designed for Enduro riders.

High stiffness, innovative and lightweight: the new Fox Racing 38 K Float 29" Factory 170 Grip2 Tapered Boost

All the revolutionary features of the new 36 are housed in a super-tough chassis, specifically designed for demanding modern Enduro racing with long suspension travel: the new 38 is on the starting line! Whatever stands in its way, it will never tire of chasing even more speed.

The award-winning 38 gets a huge performance boost thanks to the improved FIT GRIP2 damper with 4-way adjustment. Featuring patent-pending dual Variable Valve Control (VVC) adjustment for high- and low-speed rebound, improved compression damping and lower overall friction, the 38 offers a new level of performance and adjustability to match X2 dampers. High-speed compression and high-speed rebound are now easily adjustable with 8 clicks. "Factory" says it all. The best technology we have to offer is available in the Factory series models with our original, buttery-smooth and ultra-durable Kashima coating. These products are World Cup proven. External steps in the lower casting reduce weight.

The new 38 feature a new patent-pending floating axle system with a quick-release lever, combining the benefits of a floating axle with the ease of a tool-free quick release. With this system, the spacing is locked by a floating sleeve, allowing the front wheel to be repeatedly removed and refitted while maintaining perfect fork alignment. The floating sleeve position is preset at the factory, so if you are unsure how to use the floating axle system or simply do not want to deal with it, you can simply fit the front wheel and carry on riding.

Modern frames and geometry trends call for modern suspension design solutions. The arch design of the all-new 38 has been developed to perfectly match modern Enduro and Downhill bikes. Head tube profiles have become increasingly larger and fork offsets increasingly shorter. The new arch shape takes this into account, projecting forwards to provide ample head tube clearance at full compression.
