Fox 38 Performance Elite 170 29 Grip X2 Fork in Matte Black

Season:All Year Round

Brand:Fox Suspension

Code:910-21-411

The Fox 38 Float Performance Elite raises the bar for enduro and aggressive all-mountain riding, delivering next-level control, sensitivity, and confidence. Drawing from the design philosophy behind the Fox podium fork, this generation provides a refined ride feel that is smoother, faster, and more composed in the toughest terrain.

The 38 has been reengineered with a precise balance of stiffness, featuring 8.8% more fore-aft stiffness for improved tracking and control, while 6.8% less torsional stiffness enhances compliance and grip. This allows the fork to stay planted when charging hard while adapting to the trail for a less fatiguing ride.

A key upgrade includes expanded bushing overlap, increased from 120mm to 140mm. Combined with generative-designed lower legs, this reduces friction and boosts small-bump sensitivity, keeping the ride smooth even at high speeds and under heavy impacts. The Glidecore air spring system reduces friction and bind by moving with the fork under dynamic load, resulting in smoother suspension action.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • GRIP X2 Damper: The most tunable, supportive, and smoothest descent-focused damper created by Fox, offering greater traction and control at speed.
  • Glidecore Air Spring: A seamlessly compliant system that reduces friction and bind by moving with the fork under dynamic load for smoother suspension action.
  • Optimized Stiffness: Features 8.8% increased fore-aft stiffness for improved tracking and 6.8% reduced torsional stiffness for enhanced compliance and traction.
