FOX 38 – Own The Stage
The Undisputed Enduro Leader. Even at racing speeds and when things get wild on the track, the FOX 38 suspension fork remains unfazed. Composure in the chaos. The current model is equipped with the revised GRIP X2 damping and Glidecore air suspension, which noticeably reduces friction and resistance. Combined with its special tuning for travel ranges between 160 and 180 mm, the 38 sets standards interms of safety, performance and durability within the single-crown fork segment.
As a representative of the Factory series, this suspension fork is, of course, packed with features to exceed the expectations of professional riders and ambitious recreational athletes. And with the smooth and extremely durable Kashima coating, the versatile fork also knows how to impress visually. To optimally withstand the stresses of E-Bike racing, the E-Optimized model also features a correspondingly reinforced chassis.

Support Without Harshness | Greater Traction. Even more Control and Speed. When it comes to tunability, support and suppleness, this Downhill-oriented damping stands out not only in the FOX lineup. Benefiting from the advantages of long travel, GRIP X2 generates maximum ground contact as well as immense cornering traction. This not only counteracts fatigue, but also gives riders the confidence they need to push the limits in Downhill and Enduro races.
Less Bind. Full Control. The seamlessly integrated FLOAT Glidecore air suspension reduces friction and resistance by moving with the fork under dynamic loads. This movement is controlled and damped by o-rings with a large cross-section, which are particularly effective at reducing initial friction. The result is noticeably smoother operation.
High Stiffness. Low Friction. Based on experience gained with the Podium suspension fork, FOX has increased the bushing overlap by 20 mm for the 38 model. The result is a 9 % increase in axial stiffness while simultaneously reducing friction under load at high speeds. The redesigned arch further optimizes torsional stiffness to improve steering responsiveness and handling.
