FOX 32 Taper-Cast Suspension Fork - Factory | FLOAT | GRIP SL - 28" | 40mm | Offset 45mm | 12x100mm - Shiny Orange

32 Taper-Cast – Gravel Tuned

Smoother. Faster. More Confident. Completely tailored to Gravel use, the lightest FOX suspension fork to date significantly expands the terrain that riders can explore. With its low weight and nonetheless stiff construction, the 32 Taper-Cast not only improves the riding experience, but also the controllability, taking the fear out of longer off-road passages.

The low weight and increased stiffness are due to the skillful interplay of numerous factors such as the lightweight Kabolt thru-axle and the slim reverse arch with its striking "Arch Matrix" design. 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 TC 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.

Purpose Built for Gravel | To ensure that the Taper-Cast model of the 32 series harmonizes with a variety of frame sizes and types, new shapes for the adjusters are used in addition to the slim "Drop Crown" profile, which drastically increase the clearance in the down tube area. The fit is further improved by the construction with a rearward-facing arch. Thanks to the eye-catching "Arch Matrix" design, this not only provides more stiffness at a lower weight, but also better aerodynamic properties due to a smaller contact surface in the front area.
