Fox Suspension Topcap Socket

Standard sockets have a beveled edge, or chamfer, that reduces the contact area with the top cap. A chamferless design provides a flat, full-depth engagement with the nut, which significantly lowers the risk of the tool slipping and rounding off the edges of your fork's top cap.

This tool is specifically engineered for Fox 32 series forks. Please verify your fork model and stanchion diameter before purchasing, as it will not fit larger chassis like the 34, 36, or 38 series.

This socket features a standard 3/8-inch square drive. It is compatible with most 3/8-inch drive torque wrenches or ratchets found in standard mechanic tool sets.

While steel is harder, high-grade 7000 series aluminum is more than strong enough for the torque required on suspension top caps. The aluminum construction is gentler on the fork's anodized finish, making it less likely to scratch or mar the component during removal and installation.

Yes, the low-profile design is a major advantage if you are working on forks with limited clearance or if you prefer to keep your torque wrench closer to the fork crown for better stability and control. It prevents the tool from bottoming out or interfering with other components.
