Fox Racing Shox 38 Float Factory Grip X2 Tapered Boost 29″ Fork

The 38 sets the benchmark for single crown confidence, performance and durability.Five years on, the latest 38 raises the bar once again – delivering next-level control, sensitivity, and confidence for Enduro and aggressive All-Mountain riding. Drawing directly from the design philosophy behind the FOX Podium fork, this new generation brings a refined ride feel that’s smoother, faster, and more composed in the toughest terrain.The MY27 38 has been reengineered with a precise balance of stiffness: 8.8% stiffer fore-aft for improved tracking and control, while 6.8% less torsionally stiff to enhance compliance and grip. The result is a fork that stays planted when charging hard, yet adapts to the trail for a less fatiguing ride.A key upgrade comes in the expanded bushing overlap, increased from 120mm to 140mm. This improvement, combined with newly generative-designed lower legs, reduces friction and boosts small-bump sensitivity – keeping the ride smooth even at high speeds and under heavy impacts.Advanced Suspension TechnologyUpdated GRIP X2 and GRIP X damper options for precise tuning and controlNew Glidecore air spring system with vertical and horizontal complianceMCU bottom-out bumper for improved impact absorptionUpdated bleeders and relocated bypass channels for consistent performanceCompatibility & IntegrationCompatible with the same mudguard as the 36 and 36 SLBuilt for aggressive Enduro and All-Mountain applicationsKey FeaturesIncreased fore-aft stiffness (+8.8%) for improved controlReduced torsional stiffness (-6.8%) for enhanced compliance and tractionExpanded bushing overlap (140mm) for smoother performance under loadGenerative-designed lower legs for reduced friction and increased sensitivityInspired by FOX Podium fork ride characteristics
