The Fox 38 K Float 29" Factory Boost with Kashima Coat, improved GRIP2 cartridgeis a lightweight fork with 170mm travel - designed for Enduro riders.
High stiffness, innovative and lightweight: the new 38 K Float 29" Factory Grip2 Tapered Boost from Fox Racing
All the revolutionary features of the new 36 packed into a super-strong chassis specially designed for modern, hard Enduro racing with long suspension travel: The brand new 38 is at the starting line! Whatever gets in its way, it will never tire of panting for even more speed.
The award-winning 38 gets a huge performance boost with the improved FIT GRIP2 4-way adjustable damper. Equipped with the patent-pending dual Variable Valve Control (VVC) high- and low-speed rebound adjuster, improved compression damping and less friction overall, the 38 offers a new level of performance and adjustability that matches the X2 shocks. The high-speed compression stage and high-speed rebound stage is now easily adjustable with 8 clicks. "Factory" says it all. The best-of-the-best technology we have to offer is available in our Factory Series models with our buttery smooth, and ultra durable Genuine Kashima Coat. These products are World Cup proven.External steps in lower casting reduce weight.
The new 38 come equipped with a new quick-release lever operated patent-pending floating axle system, combining the benefit of a floating axle with the ease of a tool-free quick-release. With this system, spacing is locked in via a floating sleeve, allowing repeated front wheel removal and reinstallation while maintaining perfect fork alignment. Floating sleeve positioning comes preset from the factory so if you are unsure of how to operate the floating axle system or simply don’t want to bother with it, you can just install the front wheel and get on with your ride.
Modern frame designs and geometry trends require modern suspension design solutions. The arch design of the all-new 38 is designed to pair perfectly with modern Enduro and Downhill bikes. Head tube profiles have grown larger and larger, and fork offsets shorter and shorter. The new arch shape takes this need into account by jutting forward to provide ample headtube clearance at full compression.
