The Fox Suspension 38 Float Factory fork raises the bar once again, delivering next-level control, sensitivity, and confidence for enduro and aggressive all-mountain riding. Drawing directly from the design philosophy behind the Fox podium fork, this generation brings a refined ride feel that is smoother, faster, and more composed in the toughest terrain. When the track gets wild at race speed, the 38 does not flinch, setting the benchmark for single crown confidence, performance, and durability.
The 38 has been reengineered with a precise balance of stiffness, featuring 8.8% stiffer fore-aft for improved tracking and control, while 6.8% less torsional stiffness enhances compliance and grip. The result is a fork that stays planted when charging hard yet adapts to the trail for a less fatiguing ride. A key upgrade is the expanded bushing overlap, increased from 120mm to 140mm. This improvement, combined with generative-designed lower legs, reduces friction and boosts small-bump sensitivity, keeping the ride smooth even at high speeds and under heavy impacts.
ADVANCED SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY
- GRIP X2 Damper:Provides greater traction and even more control at speed, representing the most tunable, supportive, and smoothest descent-focused damper ever created by Fox.
- FLOAT Glidecore Air Spring:Reduces friction and bind by moving with the fork under dynamic load, resulting in smoother suspension action with both vertical and horizontal compliance.
- Impact Absorption:Features an MCU bottom-out bumper for improved impact absorption, alongside updated bleeders and relocated bypass channels for consistent performance.
COMPATIBILITY & INTEGRATION
- Mudguard Compatibility:Compatible with the same mudguard as the 36 and 36 SL, featuring a sturdy 4-point direct-mount attachment.
- Application:Specifically built for aggressive enduro and all-mountain applications.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Enhanced Control:Increased fore-aft stiffness (+8.8%) ensures improved tracking and precision when navigating technical terrain.
- Superior Compliance:Reduced torsional stiffness (-6.8%) and the Glidecore air spring system work together to enhance traction and reduce rider fatigue.
- Reduced Friction:Expanded bushing overlap (140mm) and generative-designed lower legs significantly decrease friction for increased sensitivity and smoother performance under load.
