evo.com | Fox Shox Forks > A dream fork from the stiffest region in Smashonia, the Fox Shox 38 Float Factory GRIP 2 Fork is the long-travel option of choice. Its travel is grasshopper-sensitive off the top, with zero breakaway friction to speak of. Its internals are watchmaker-smart, with a linear spring curve that offers support throughout its travel - natural and predictable to the point of being embarrassing to other front suspension components. With bleeder valves to equalize pressure buildup, independent hi- and low-speed rebound and compression adjustments, and a new floating axle, this 38 is as good as it gets. GRIP2 Damper Fox's GRIP2 damper is the benchmark for unparalleled ride quality and ultra-precise on-the-fly adjustability. For 2021, they've taken GRIP2 to the next level by adding patented VVC technology to the high-speed compression circuit. Floating Axle Floating axles might look similar to other axles, but in fact they offer a distinct performance advantage due to their unique ability to match the exact width of the fork's wheel mounting surface precisely to the front hub flange spacing, thus creating perfect chassis alignment and eliminating unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs. Floating axles provide much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of the fork's travel, notably improving sensitivity and overall ride quality. New Lower Leg Channels As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Fox's lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel. FLOAT EVOL Air Spring EVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimizing small bump sensitivity. EVOL's linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tunable bottom-out progression. Pressure Bleeders Lower leg bleeders allow for atmospheric pressure equalization at the simple press of a button. Pressure build-up in the lower legs dramatically decreases fork performance, preventing full travel from being achieved, and diminishing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness. | Fox Shox 38 Float Factory GRIP2 Fork 27.5 2023 - 170mm, 15x110 QR, 44mm Rake in Orange Size 170mm 15X110 Qr 44mm Rake
