What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I run the 32 Factory SC on my XC race setup, and it's all about speed with no compromise. The GRIP SL damper is efficient and ultra-light, and I appreciate the flexibility of both 3-position adjustment and the remote Push-Lock version depending on my cockpit setup. That Kashima stanchion isn’t just for looks—it’s buttery smooth on every compression hit."When we’re racing the clock or logging big miles in the backcountry, the FOX 32 Factory Step-Cast GRIP SL fork is our top choice for precision, light weight, and efficiency. FOX built this ultralight fork to meet the needs of marathon XC racers who demand every ounce of performance without excess grams. Coming in under 1300g, it’s one of the lightest 100mm forks available—and it doesn’t shy away from stiffness or control. The latest Step-Cast chassis features a reverse arch design that boosts lateral stiffness by 40% compared to the previous generation, offering a more responsive and stable front end. Riders can choose between the simplicity of the 3-Position Adjust damper or the race-day efficiency of the Push-Lock remote system. Both versions use FOX’s refined GRIP SL damper and the ultra-smooth, low-friction Kashima-coated stanchions. With a sleek look, featherlight design, and race-ready stiffness, the 32 Factory SC is purpose-built for podium-chasers.
