Fox 38 K Float 29 Factory Series 170mm - 44mm OFFSET fork

Fox 38 K Float 29 Factory Series 170mm - 44mm OFFSET fork

The enduro specialist!

All the revolutionary features of the FOX 36 packed into a super-strong frame designed specifically for modern long-distance hardcore Enduro racing - the FOX 38 is on the starting line! No matter what gets in his way, he will never tire of panting for even more speed.

Characteristics:

• FLOAT EVOL air spring for greater comfort

• Revised Shock Grip2 for ultra-precise adjustment

• Weight-optimized frame with an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio

• Revised fork decorations

• Kashima coating

• Version for the highest demands on e-bikes

Details:

The factory says it all: feature-rich and designed to exceed rider needs. Factory Series products have an extra smooth and ultra durable Kashima coating.

The updated GRIP2 shock sets the benchmark for unmatched ride quality and ultra-precise on-the-fly adjustment. For 2021, FOX has taken the GRIP2 to the next level by adding patented VVC technology to the high-speed compression circuitry. VVC is a proprietary variable valve control system that allows external fine-tuning of suspension performance. GRIP2 accomplishes with the simple rotation of a knob what would normally require the long and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork. Allows adjustment of compression and rebound damping at high/low speed.

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. Additionally, the bleeders allow for easy pressure equalization at the push of a button.

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.

Due to the powerful motors of modern e-mountain bikes, higher forces act both on the drivetrain and on the entire wheel. As if that wasn't enough, the E-MTB components have to deal with a naturally heavier bike - this is especially true for the suspension. For FOX, the unshakable stability of the speed pedelec forks was therefore decisive. It guarantees your riding safety and the best management of your E-MTB.
