Weighing less than 1,300 g, the Fox 32 Step-Cast is the lightest MTB fork and perfect for marathon races. Additionally, thanks to the triple rear clamp, this suspension fork gains 40% more stiffness compared to the previous model.

The GRIP SL is a cartridge designed for short courses, incredibly light, which not only saves weight but offers an unparalleled riding feel in its category. Riders experience a smooth ride with pedal-to-bump efficiency optimized, plus a smooth unloading force in lockout mode to reduce rider fatigue.

Technologies

GRIP-SL
In the world of endurance racing, every gram counts. With Grip SL, Fox has created a damper specific for short courses that not only reduces weight but can also keep up with the increasingly demanding XCO and XCM World Cup races. Lockout performance is crucial for Grip SL: it is firm for hammering the pedals during a sprint but maintains a smooth unloading force when hitting an obstacle with lockout engaged. This reduces fatigue and preserves rider energy. When the compression adjuster is in Middle or Open mode, riders experience a smooth ride in the early stages with pedal-to-bump efficiency optimized.

Kashima Coating
The distinctive gold color of the original Kashima Coat is backed by its high performance: properties that ensure an exceptionally smooth feel and extreme durability. All Factory series forks - Now available across the entire Factory series fork range. The original buttery smooth Kashima Coat is only available from FOX - the Kashima Coat logo is pad printed on every stanchion.

FLOAT air spring
The FLOAT air spring system, developed for the 32, 34, and 40 models, is lighter and reduces the force needed to initiate travel, ensuring excellent sensitivity and good small bump compliance for all riders and pressure settings. Similar to our FLOAT rear shocks, the new FLOAT system features positive and negative air springs that automatically equalize during use to give each rider the right pressure balance. The spring curve progression can be adjusted via air volume spacers, allowing riders to precisely tune the air spring feel.

EVOL
A more linear spring curve gives EVOL forks and shocks greater initial stiffness, more mid-stroke support, and a more tunable end-stroke progression, allowing riders to achieve the ideal balance of front and rear feel. EVOL technology from rear shocks is now integrated into all FOX forks. EVOL increases the negative spring volume, specifically positioned and sized to optimize small bump sensitivity.
