Five years in, the new 38 is once again upping the ante for Enduro and aggressive All-Mountain fork performance.

Learning from our design of the FOX Podium fork and its exemplary ride feel, we made the MY 27 38, 8.8% stiffer foreaft and 6.8% less stiff in torsion. The new 38 also increases its bushing overlap from 120mm to 140mm for the smoothest possible ride at high speed and under high impacts.

Support Without Harshness
GRIP X2 is the most tunable, supportive and smoothest descent-focused damper ever created by FOX. Sit higher in the travel, keep tires glued to the ground and corner with increased traction, all while reducing overall rider fatigue. 

High Stiffness. Low Friction
Using the learnings gained from the FOX Podium, we increased bushing overlap by 20mm to push the fore-aft stiffness by approximately 9% while reducing friction under load at high speed. The new arch optimizes torsional stiffness even further for steering responsiveness and handling.

Smooth Under Pressure
The seamlessly compliant FLOAT Glidecore air spring reduces friction and bind by moving with the fork under dynamic load. Large cross-section O-rings dampen and control this motion while also reducing breakaway friction of the air spring. The result? Smoother suspension action.
