GRIP X2
GRIP X2 is the most tunable, supportive and smoothest descent-focused damper ever created by FOX. Riders reap the benefits of sitting higher in the travel while tires stay glued to the ground, cornering with increased traction. It gives you the confidence to push the limits of downhill and enduro racing, all while reducing overall rider fatigue. GRIP X2 is the winning difference. Learn more about the new GRIP family.
LOWER LEG BLEEDERS AND BYPASS CHANNELS
Bleeders allow atmospheric pressure equalization at the push of a button. Lower leg bypass channels increase volume to alleviate pressure ramping as the fork moves through its travel. Both result in better fork performance by increasing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.
LOWER LEG ARCH
The lower leg design of the 40 while maximizes strength and steering stiffness for downhill performance while adding no unnecessary weight.
FLOATING AXLE
The 40's floating thru axle allows perfect chassis alignment and reduces unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs, providing much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of travel.
