Fox Suspension Damper Assembly

No, this specific damper (model 820-18-267-kit) is engineered exclusively for 2020 Fox 34 Step-Cast 29-inch forks. It will not fit standard Fox 34 chassis or other model years, so verify your fork's specific model year and chassis type before purchasing.

No, this kit includes the internal damper cartridge assembly only. You will need to use your existing remote lever or purchase a compatible Fox remote separately to actuate the lockout.

The main advantage is the ability to adjust your compression damping on the fly via a handlebar remote. It allows you to instantly firm up the fork for efficient climbing and open it back up for technical descents without taking your hands off the grips.

If you are comfortable performing standard suspension service, such as lower leg removal and damper swaps, you can install this yourself. However, it requires specific tools like a cassette tool or socket for the top cap and a torque wrench to ensure the assembly is secured to factory specifications.

You should consider a replacement if you notice a loss of damping control, oil leaking from the top cap, or if the remote lockout mechanism no longer engages or disengages properly. If the fork feels inconsistent or 'spiky' despite regular service, the internal cartridge may be worn beyond repair.
