50 Years of Pushing Potential Further. To celebrate the company's golden anniversary, FOX is giving its lineup of suspension forks a strictly limited special edition (less than 7000 units in total). The Podium Gold models not only feature a golden Kashima coating on the stanchions, but also the lowers shine in the elegant color scheme befitting the occasion.
32 Step-Cast – Made for Marathon
40 % stiffer, more grip and incomparably light. This is the 32 Step-Cast suspension fork from FOX. At less than 1300 grams, it is not only one of the lightest MTB models, but is also predestined for use in marathon races.
The low weight and increased stiffness are due to the skillful interplay of numerous factors such as the slim, rear-facing reverse arch as well as the revised crown. As a representative of the Factory series, this fork with the tried-and-tested FLOAT air suspension is of course also packed with functions. On the technical side, the powerful GRIP SL damping stands out in particular, offering an indescribable riding experience and effectively counteracting fatigue. With its smooth and extremely durable Kashima coating, the 32 Step-Cast is also visually impressive.

GRIP SL | Climb Faster. Descend Harder. Recover Quicker. This lightweight, short-stroke damping not only impresses in terms of weight savings, but also offers a ride feel that is second to none. Particular attention was paid to preventing fatigue. On the one hand, this is due to the smooth response paired with optimized, bob-free drive efficiency. On the other hand, the clever Blowoff function, available in Lockout mode, absorbs unexpected impacts. Ideal for Cross Country (XC, XCO, XCC).
Redesigned Crown | The Zero-Offset crown made of 7000 aluminum is designed for angled upper tubes, so that pre-bending no longer has to be achieved by using additional material. This not only increases stiffness but, in combination with the ultra-lightweight steerer tube, results in a weight saving of 20 grams compared to the previous model.
Rear Arch Matrix | The construction with a rearward-facing arch provides 40 % more stiffness. At the same time, the eye-catching Arch Matrix design reduces the weight.
Kabolt SL | Compared to the conventional Kabolt thru axle, the Super Light version saves a further 12 grams. This weight reduction is made possible not only by reducing the flange diameter, but also by eliminating the axle nut.
