Details of the FOX 38 Float Grip2 Factory

Factory says it all - packed with features and designed to exceed the demands of riders. The Factory series products are characterized by a particularly smooth, extremely durable Kashima coating. The updated GRIP2 damper is the benchmark for unsurpassed ride quality and ultra-precise on-the-fly adjustability.

In 2021, FOX has taken the GRIP2 to the next level by adding patented VVC technology to the high-speed compression circuit. VVC is a proprietary variable valve control system that allows external fine-tuning of suspension performance. GRIP2 accomplishes with the turn of a knob what would normally require the time-consuming and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork. It allows adjustment of high/low-speed compression and rebound.

The lightweight FLOAT air suspension system automatically balances the positive and negative air chambers for increased sensitivity and traction regardless of the air pressure setting. Riders can fine-tune the characteristics of the positive air spring using volume spacers. The use of a shorter stanchion tube saves weight and creates a lightweight overall system.

The floating axle may look similar to axles, but they actually offer a significant performance advantage. Floating axles provide a much smoother movement of the suspension over the entire travel range of the fork, which significantly improves sensitivity and overall ride quality. Furthermore, perfect suspension alignment is created and unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs is eliminated.

When a fork is compressed, the air volume in the dip tubes decreases. The more the fork is compressed, the more the pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence that the full suspension travel can no longer be achieved. Channels in the dip tubes help to reduce the extent of the additional pressure increase. In addition, bleeders enable simple pressure equalization at the touch of a button.

Stiffness to weight ratio is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers spend countless hours optimizing this ratio. The all-new lower leg design pulls out all the stops, saving every possible gram without compromising the stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity racing.

Modern frame designs and geometry trends require modern design solutions for suspension forks. The triple clamp is designed to perfectly match modern enduro and downhill bikes. State-of-the-art computer techniques helped FOX develop an organic lower leg shape that optimizes stiffness with an absolute minimum of material. The elliptical head tube is another way FOX has further optimized stiffness to weight ratio. Material is placed only where it is needed and every unnecessary gram has been eliminated.
