Fox 40 Factory Suspension Fork

The GRIP X2 is designed specifically for downhill racing, offering significantly more tunability and support than previous versions. It helps the fork sit higher in its travel, which keeps your tires tracking better through corners and reduces fatigue on long, rough descents.

The bleeders allow you to equalize the air pressure inside the fork lowers with the outside atmospheric pressure at the push of a button. This is crucial for maintaining consistent suspension performance, especially when riding at high altitudes or during significant temperature changes.

The floating thru axle ensures perfect alignment between the upper and lower fork legs. By eliminating binding or misalignment, it allows the fork to move through its travel much more smoothly, reducing friction and improving small-bump sensitivity.

Yes, the bypass channels increase the air volume within the lower legs, which prevents unwanted pressure ramping as the fork compresses. This results in a more linear, supple feel that makes the fork feel more responsive to small trail chatter.

While the gold color is iconic, the Kashima Coating is primarily functional. It provides a highly durable, low-friction surface on the upper tubes that significantly improves suspension responsiveness and helps the fork resist wear over time.

The FOX 40 Factory is built specifically for downhill use and comes with a fixed 203mm of travel. It is not designed to be internally adjusted to different travel lengths.
