Fox Racing Shox 38 A Float 29" Performance 3PosGrip 170 E-Optimised 58HT Tapered Boost TOP-DEAL
Product information "38 A Float 29" Performance 3PosGrip 170 E-Optimised 58HT Tapered Boost TOP-DEAL"
High stiffness, innovative and light: the 38 A FLOAT 29" Performance 170 3PosGrip Tapered Boost from Fox Racing
All the revolutionary features of the new 36 packed into a super-strong chassis that has been specially developed for modern, hard enduro racing with long suspension travel: The brand new 38 is on the starting line! Whatever you put in its way, it will never tire of panting for more speed.
Designed for aggressive trails, the 38 Performance Series features a GRIP damper, a FLOAT air spring and a super-light chassis for maximum reliability and control.
The new 38 suspension fork is equipped with a new patented quick release system that combines the advantages of a thru axle with the convenience of a tool-free quick release. With this system, the distance is locked via a floating sleeve, which allows repeated removal and installation of the front wheel and at the same time ensures perfect alignment of the fork. The positioning of the floating sleeve is pre-set at the factory, which has the advantage that the front wheel can be easily installed.
The arch design of the new 38 is designed to perfectly match modern enduro and downhill bikes. Head tube profiles are becoming ever wider and offsets ever shorter. The new arch shape takes this into account by protruding forwards to provide sufficient clearance for the head tube at full compression.
Features - Fox Racing 38 A FLOAT 29" Performance 170 3PosGrip Tapered Boost
FLOAT EVOL air spring for extra plush suspension
GRIP 3-position damper for improved control
Innovative elliptical head tube in the fork crown area for high stiffness with minimal weight
Pressure equalisation system in the dip tube unit
Air and oil channels in the dip tube unit
Weight-optimised chassis with optimum stiffness/weight ratio and new triple clamp for more space in the head tube area
Weight-optimised chassis offers particularly great advantages with shorter offsets
Stiffer than 36: 31% higher lateral stiffness, 9% higher braking stiffness and 20% more torsional stiffness
58 mm fork crown diameter for visually uniform transition between voluminous head tubes and fork crown
4-point direct mounting for mudguards

GRIP damper
The motorsport-inspired GRIP damper uses our FIT technology with sealed cartridge in combination with an independent float piston with air spring. The GRIP allows excess oil to escape through special ports on the top of the damper to maintain consistent damping and increase durability. The Performance Series forks have an open, medium and firm mode with additional micro-adjustment between settings.
FLOAT air spring - patented air equalisation technology
The FLOAT air suspension system for the 32, 34 and 40 is lighter and reduces the compression release force, providing excellent ride comfort and better response to small bumps for all riders and at all compression settings. Similar to our FLOAT shocks, the new FLOAT system has positive and negative air springs that automatically equalise in use to give the rider exactly the desired suspension behaviour. The progressivity of the spring characteristic can be adjusted via air volume spacers, allowing the rider to fine-tune the spring behaviour of the air spring.
EVOL
A more linear spring curve gives EVOL forks and shocks smoother top end spring behaviour, extra mid-stroke support and more tunable end progression. EVOL technology has an increased negative air spring volume. Specially positioned and dimensioned with optimum sensitivity to small bumps.
Air Volume Spacers
The FLOAT air spring on Fox forks and shocks can be fine-tuned by using volume spacers to make the suspension elements more progressive or less progressive. This allows the rider to fine-tune the suspension exactly to their needs.
15QR
Avoid performance losses due to a thru axle of inferior quality. In co-operation with Shimano, we have developed an axle that is extremely light and stiff and can be fitted without tools. You'll appreciate the reliability of this thru-axle when you're riding over rocks, roots and through bushes.
The 15QR lever
The recess in the lever reduces weight and simplifies operation
Lightweight, forged lever
Lightweight, forged axle shaft
Fixed adjustable thread position - you don't need to adjust the QR quick-release axle adjustment nut to find the optimum tension.
25 % higher stiffness against lateral shear forces - Thanks to 25 % higher stiffness against lateral shear forces, the fork legs function as a synchronised unit. The result is higher suspension performance and directional stability of the front wheel when uneven lateral forces act on the wheel.
15% higher torsional stiffness - The legendary torsional stiffness of our fork has been increased by a further 15% to further improve handling.
