2027 FOX 38 Factory GRIP X2 Tapered Fork

five years on the latest 38 raises the bar once again - delivering next-level control sensitivity and confidence for enduro and aggressive all-mountain riding. Drawing directly from the design philosophy behind the Fox podium fork this new generation brings a refined ride feel thatâs smoother faster and more composed in the toughest terrain.

The my27 38 has been reengineered with a precise balance of stiffness: 8.8% stiffer fore-aft for improved tracking and control while 6.8% less torsionally stiff to enhance compliance and grip. The result is a fork that stays planted when charging hard yet adapts to the trail for a less fatiguing ride.

A key upgrade comes in the expanded bushing overlap increased from 120mm to 140mm. This improvement combined with newly generative-designed lower legs reduces friction and boosts small-bump sensitivity - keeping the ride smooth even at high speeds and under heavy impacts.
