Completely reworked for the latest generation, it is designed to be faster, smoother and more supportive from top to bottom, with updated damping, air spring performance and lower leg design all focused on maximum speed and confidence. Key Features: Fully redesigned chassis, damper and air spring for faster downhill performance Factory level fork built for elite gravity and downhill riding Updated GRIP X2 damper increases support while preserving suppleness New GlideCore air spring adds vertical and horizontal compliance for improved tracking MCU bottom out bumper improves control on bigger impacts Generatively designed lower legs optimise stiffness, strength and weight Updated bleeders improve pressure management during hard riding Relocated bypass channels enhance lower leg performance. The Fox 40 Factory GRIP X2 Fork - 2027 is a downhill suspension fork built for maximum speed, control, and consistency through a fully reworked chassis, damper, and air spring system. The updated GRIP X2 damper increases support while keeping a smooth stroke, and the new GlideCore air spring adds both vertical and horizontal compliance to maintain traction on rough terrain. Generatively designed lower legs improve stiffness and reduce weight, while practical updates like revised bleeders and a simplified top cap support easier setup and maintenance. Key Features and Benefits: Generatively designed lower legs: The lower legs are engineered using advanced modelling to remove excess material while reinforcing high-stress zones. This improves stiffness and strength without adding weight, which keeps the front wheel tracking accurately under load. The result is more precise handling at speed and better stability through rough sections. Updated GRIP X2 damper with revised piston and valve stack: The new mid-valve piston and reshaped valve stack refine oil flow through the damper. This increases support during heavy impacts while maintaining a smooth, controlled stroke without harsh spikes. The outcome is consistent damping performance that holds the bike higher in its travel and improves control on repeated hits. GlideCore air spring with vertical and horizontal compliance: The redesigned air spring allows controlled flex in multiple directions, helping the fork stay aligned with uneven terrain. This reduces binding and keeps the fork moving freely under side loads. The result is improved traction, reduced fatigue, and more consistent grip across rough ground. MCU bottom-out bumper: A microcellular urethane bumper manages the final portion of the fork's travel by absorbing sharp impacts at full compression. This reduces harsh bottom-out events and protects the fork internals. The outcome is smoother landings and greater confidence when hitting large features. Updated bleeders and relocated bypass channels: The revised pressure relief system allows quick release of built-up air in the lowers, while optimised bypass channels improve oil circulation. This keeps performance consistent over long descents. The result is reliable sensitivity and damping feel from top to bottom. Splined cassette tool top cap for easier setup: The air-side top cap uses a standard cassette tool interface, simplifying adjustments and servicing. This reduces the need for specialist tools and speeds up setup changes. The outcome is quicker tuning and easier maintenance between rides. This fork focuses on maintaining speed through rough terrain without loss of control. The updated damper keeps the front end supported under heavy braking and repeated impacts, while the GlideCore air spring improves ground contact when the trail becomes uneven. The increased chassis stiffness helps hold lines accurately, and the refined damping reduces unwanted movement. Together, these updates allow consistent performance across demanding downhill tracks where stability and predictability are critical. This is a direct upgrade for riders who need dependable suspension performance under pressure. Its balance of support, sensitivity, and durability makes it well suited to aggressive riding and race use. It is ready to fit, tune, and run with minimal setup complexity.
