"The headline news here is the GRIP X2 damper. FOX is calling this their most 'tunable, supportive, and smoothest descent-focused damper ever,' and while that's a lot of adjectives, the intent is clear."
"GRIP X2 is designed to let the fork sit high in its stroke - keeping your geometry corrected on the steep stuff - without that mid-stroke harshness that makes you feel like you're going to pop a tendon gripping the bars."
"One of the coolest technical additions is the FLOAT Glidecore air spring that comes from the smaller forks in the Fox lineup. If you've ever felt your fork get 'sticky' when you're leaning hard into a corner or heavy on the brakes, you're feeling friction caused by the design."
The FOX 38 fork has undergone a significant redesign to improve grip and reduce hand fatigue, essential for enduro racers. The new GRIP X2 damper is touted as the most tunable and smoothest option available, allowing for better geometry and traction without harshness. The FLOAT Glidecore air spring addresses friction issues during cornering and braking, enhancing overall performance. The redesign aims to maintain the fork's status as a leading choice in the market, focusing on rider comfort and control.
