evo.com | Fox Shox Forks > The Fox Shox 40 Float Factory GRIP X2 Fork is the dedicated downhill and bike park fork, full stop. Proven on the World Cup DH circuit and updated with the FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring and GRIP X2 damper, it brings more tunability and traction than previous versions without sacrificing the raw speed capability the 40 is known for. With 203mm of travel and a floating axle, this heavy hitter is built to handle whatever the hill throws at it. Kashima Coated Stanchions The smoothest of the smooth, plus it looks cooler. The gold Kashima coating has become synonymous with friction-free suspension actuation, and it's only available on Fox Factory components. GRIP X2 Damper GRIP X2 is the most tunable, supportive and smoothest descent-focused damper ever created by FOX. Riders reap the benefits of sitting higher in the travel while tires stay glued to the ground, cornering with increased traction. It gives you the confidence to push the limits of downhill and enduro racing, all while reducing overall rider fatigue. GRIP X2 is the winning difference. Lower Leg Channels As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Fox's lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel. FLOAT Glidecore Air Spring The seamlessly compliant FLOAT Glidecore Air Spring reduces friction and bind by moving with the fork under dynamic load for smoother suspension action. Kabolt Axle Kabolt, a lightweight bolt-on floating axle to shave grams and increase torsional stiffness via a sleeveless, single-sided pinch bolt design. | Fox Shox 40 Float Factory GRIP X2 Fork 29 2027 - 203mm, 20TAx110, 52mm Rake in Black Size 203mm 20Tax110 52mm Rake
