Performance Elite forks retain the same adjustments, features, dampers, weight, and 7000 series aluminum upper tubes as Factory Series, but have black anodized stanchions
-
New GRIP2 Damper - The benchmark for unparalleled ride quality and ultra-precise on-the-fly adjustability. For 2021, Fox has taken GRIP2 to the next level by adding their patented VVC technology to the high-speed compression circuit
-
Lower Leg Channels - 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
-
Bleeders - Lower leg bleeders allow for atmospheric pressure equalization at the simple press of a button. Pressure build-up in the lower legs dramatically decreases fork performance, preventing full travel from being achieved, and diminishing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness
-
Floating Axles - They might look similar to other axles, but in fact they offer a distinct performance advantage due to their unique ability to match the exact width of the fork’s wheel mounting surface precisely to the front hub flange spacing, thus creating perfect chassis alignment and eliminating unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs
-
Lower Leg Arch - All-new lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements
-
Elliptical Steerer - The 38’s elliptical steer tube is one of many ways Fox further optimized stiffness-to-weight, placing more material only where it is needed, and eliminating every ounce of it where it’s not
