Fox Shox 40 Float Factory GRIP X2 Fork – 29″

Ever wonder what separates World Cup champions from the rest? The Fox Shox 40 Float Factory GRIP X2 Fork keeps riders glued to the ground while competitors eat their dust. Those iconic gold Kashima-coated stanchions don’t just turn heads at the starting gate, they deliver buttery-smooth performance when milliseconds matter. Pair that with the proven FLOAT EVOL air spring and hyper-tunable GRIP X2 damper, and you’ve got suspension that transforms your everyday rig into a podium-worthy downhill machine.

Kashima Coated Stanchions
–
The smoothest of the smooth, plus it looks cooler. The gold Kashima coating has become synonymous with friction-free suspension actuation, and it's only available on Fox Factory components.

Lower Leg Channels
–
As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Fox's lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel.

Lower Leg Bleeders
–
These little buttons allow for atmospheric pressure equalization for better fork performance, allowing full travel to be achieved and increasing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.

Features

FLOAT EVOL Air Spring
–
EVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimizing small bump sensitivity. EVOL’s linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tunable bottom-out progression.

Kabolt Axle
–
Kabolt, a lightweight bolt-on floating axle to shave grams and increase torsional stiffness via a sleeveless, single-sided pinch bolt design.

Floating Axle
–
The 20mm diameter floating thru axle allows perfect chassis alignment and reduces unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs, providing much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire 203mm of travel.

Adjustments

GRIP X2 Damper
–
GRIP X2 is the most tunable, supportive and smoothest descent-focused damper ever created by FOX. Riders reap the benefits of sitting higher in the travel while tires stay glued to the ground, cornering with increased traction. It gives you the confidence to push the limits of downhill and enduro racing, all while reducing overall rider fatigue. GRIP X2 is the winning difference.

Fork Adjustments

  Used For

  Downhill

  For bike park days and shuttle laps, there’s nothing like a downhill (DH) bike. Designed to tackle the roughest trails at high speeds, these bikes have long suspension travel (typically 170mm+), huge brakes, and unreal descending capabilities.DH bikes are not as suitable for tight trails or climbing.
