The Fox 38 fork is the body-built version of its little Fox 36 sister, the benchmark model in Enduro, but optimised for 160 to 180 mm travel.
The forks feature a number of innovations: bleeders to balance internal and external pressures, air/oil ramps for better air pressure management and optimised lubrication of the upper seals, a new hoop for even greater rigidity, and a floating axle system to ensure perfect alignment between fork and hub.
The stem-pivot-stem assembly has also been optimised by the brand, with the fork featuring an oblong tapered steerer tube with a differentiated internal diameter, a stem whose diameter has been increased to 58mm, and 38mm steerers. As you can see, the rigidity of the Fox 38 will not disappoint.
On the spring side, the Fox 38 uses the brand's signature Float air system, with a number of improvements to increase progressiveness and reduce friction.
On the hydraulic side, the Fox 38 benefits from the GRIP 2 cartridge, whose VVC (Variable Valve Control) technology, hitherto reserved for high-speed rebound adjustment, has now been extended to high-speed compression adjustment, further improving the operation of the brand's most famous cartridge.

Float damping:
The FLOAT pneumatic shock absorber developed for the 32, 34 and 40 forks is lighter and reduces the force required to release. It offers excellent sensitivity on small bumps regardless of the rider and the pressure setting.
Similar to our FLOAT shocks, the new FLOAT system features negative and positive chambers that balance automatically. This provides proper pressure for every mountain biker. The progressiveness of the damping curve is adjustable by means of spacers for the air volume so that mountain bikers can precisely adjust the behavior of the air shock.
Kabolt X Axle:
A lightweight bolt-on floating axle, the Kabolt X reduces grams while increasing torsional rigidity thanks to a sleeveless, one-sided clamp bolt design. The alignment of the frame reduces unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs, resulting in much smoother suspension movements throughout the entire travel range.
