Fox Suspension Damper Assembly

No, this specific Grip2 assembly is designed for 2021 model year forks with 150mm of travel. While it fits 34mm stanchions, you must verify your specific fork's chassis and model year compatibility before purchasing to ensure the damper length and threading match your internals.

The Grip2 damper offers significantly more adjustability than base-level dampers, allowing you to independently tune high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound. This level of control lets you dial in your suspension for specific trail conditions and personal riding preferences.

If you have experience with suspension service and the correct specialized tools—such as a torque wrench, suspension fluid, and a damper removal tool—it is a manageable task. If you are unfamiliar with internal suspension maintenance, we recommend having a professional mechanic perform the installation to avoid damaging the seals or damper body.

No, this is a replacement cartridge assembly. You will need to purchase the correct weight suspension fluid separately to bleed and fill the damper during installation, as it is shipped dry to prevent leakage.

You should consider a replacement if you notice a loss of damping control, persistent oil leaks from the top cap, or if the adjustment knobs no longer produce a noticeable change in feel. If your fork feels inconsistent or 'spiky' despite regular service, the internal valving may be worn beyond repair.
