Details of the Fox 38 Float Grip Performance

The Performance Series forks feature the same 7000 Series anodized aluminum upper tubes as the Performance Elite, only combined with a GRIP shock. Inspired by motorsport, the GRIP shock uses FIT technology with sealed cartridges combined with an independently floating and spring-loaded piston. GRIP allows excess oil to drain through specially designed vents at the top of the shock to ensure consistent damping and increase durability. The shock offers three positions for compression damping adjustment (open, medium, firm) and a 10-click low-speed rebound adjustment.

The lightweight FLOAT air suspension system automatically balances positive and negative air chambers for increased feel and traction regardless of air pressure setting. Riders can fine-tune the characteristics of the positive air spring using volume spacers. Using a shorter stance tube saves weight and creates a lightweight overall system.

Floating axles may seem similar to axles, but they actually offer a distinct performance advantage. The floating axles provide much smoother suspension movement throughout the fork travel, significantly improving feel and overall ride quality. Additionally, perfect suspension alignment is created and unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs is eliminated.

When a fork is compressed, the volume of air in the dip tubes decreases. The more the fork is compressed, the more the pressure increases. This effect may have the unintended consequence of preventing full mobility from being achieved. Channels in the dip tubes help reduce the amount of additional pressure rise.

Stiffness versus weight is the definitive metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours to optimize this ratio. The all-new lower leg design stops, saving every gram possible without compromising the stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity riding.

Modern frames and geometry trends require modern design solutions for suspension forks. The triple clamp is designed to fit perfectly on modern enduro and downhill bikes. Cutting-edge computer techniques have helped FOX develop an organic lower leg shape that optimizes stiffness with an absolute minimum of material. The elliptical head tube is another way FOX has further optimized stiffness relative to weight. Material placed only where needed and every useless gram has been eliminated.
