FOX 38 Float Factory 170 27.5 GRIP2 Tapered Fork
Featuring oversized 38mm stanchions for exceptional stiffness and precision, the FOX 38 Float Factory 170 27.5 GRIP2 Tapered Fork is built to take the hits. Designed for the latest breed of long-travel enduro bikes, this fork is unfaltering in its performance, no matter the terrain. An all-new arch and lower-leg design adds stiffness whilst keeping the weight low, and features a revised air and oil channel which dramatically increases the air volume.
Inside this fork is the heralded GRIP2 damper, which now features Variable Valve Control adjustment for unrivalled levels of tuning. The new EVOL air spring boosts the size of the negative air chamber, improving small-bump compliance for enhanced traction. A bleed valve is located on each fork leg, allowing built-up air pressure to be released at the press of a button.
