The Fox 38 Performance Elite is Fox’s more affordable top tier all-mountain and enduro specific fork that’s designed to handle the rigours of modern day enduro riding and racing. Massive 38mm stanchions keep the Fox 38 incredibly stiff which allows the fork to precisely track, corner extremely well, and brake consistently under any and all conditions. The lower leg arch has an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio with Fox managing to shave off every possible gram without compromising on stiffness. Lower leg bypass channels help to reduce unintended pressure ramping and also keep lower leg bath oil circulating to the upper reaches of the lower legs, thus continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings. The ingenious floating axle design reduces friction in the upper and lower legs by preventing the axle from applying too much pressure, allowing for consistent and buttery smooth performance. Built in bleeders on the lower legs of the fork allow you to equalize the atmospheric pressure of the fork using a simple button, this allows you to access the full performance of your fork at any elevation. Making a return this year is the tried and true GRIP2 damper working in conjunction with Variable Valve Control for a massive amount of tunability. The GRIP2 damper paired with Variable Valve Control allows for high and low speed compression adjustment along with high and low speed rebound adjustment. The air spring is handled by the classic FLOAT EVOL, which has been optimized to provide incredibly accurate and consistent small bump sensitivity along with plenty of mid-stroke support. If you’re looking for a race-ready enduro fork that offers the same amount of adjustment and tuning options as the Factory series Fox forks without the cost then look no further.
