"Fox has officially pulled the curtain back on the all-new 40, proving that the most dominant fork in MTB history still has room to find more speed. With a refined chassis that balances stiffness with surgical precision and a damping overhaul that feels like cheating, this isn't just a marginal gain - it's a total recalibration of what a DH fork can do."
"The newly imagined Fox 40 uses a similar Glidecore air spring to the one we saw in the new 36 and 34. The Glidecore system, which is both vertically and horizontally compliant, reduces friction and allows the top end of the travel to be tapped into much more easily, resulting in a more responsive fork without losing support at the mid and low ends of the travel."
"World Cup DH racing is one of the most physically demanding disciplines in mountain biking in terms of trail abuse on bikes and riders, so how do you make trails feel smoother and make riders faster? Fox has been asking this question for years, and the modern answer is a more supple interaction between the suspension and the ground, without sacrificing precision."
Fox has unveiled the next generation Fox 40 downhill fork, maintaining its dominance in the DH racing circuit while introducing significant performance upgrades. The new fork features a refined chassis balancing stiffness with precision and an overhauled damping system. Key improvements include the Glidecore air spring system, which provides both vertical and horizontal compliance to reduce friction and improve responsiveness throughout the travel range. The GripX and GripX2 dampers have been enhanced with a new mid-valve piston and valve stack assembly. These updates address the demands of World Cup DH racing by making trails feel smoother while maintaining precision, allowing riders to achieve greater speed without sacrificing control or support across the suspension's range.
