FORK FOX 38 FACTORY KASHIMA
For long travel enduro use, the FOX 38 comes with the same superior features as its little sister, the FOX 36. The completely newly developed casting guarantees outstanding stiffness values without additional weight. Innovations such as the floating thru-axle, the optimized steerer tube, the dip tube ventilation and channels integrated into the dip tubes to improve lubrication and drain the compressed air in the casting round off the fresh cell cure. The proven Grip2 dampers and the improved FLOAT EVOL technology ensure even better responsiveness. Extremely rigid 38 mm anodized stanchions, exclusive SKF seals and the closed cartridge ensure a long service life.
Different tuning options ensure the best performance on the trail, provided they are set up correctly. And this is exactly where the problem lies - many hobby riders are overwhelmed and do not fully exploit the potential of their suspension due to incorrect settings. The result - more frustration than pleasure when biking.
The different adjustment options of the Grip2 damping ensure the best off-road performance. Ground contact is practically always guaranteed. Even in difficult passages, the fork works reliably and you never lose control of your bike.
