The 26" fork has 100mm, 120mm and 140mm travel options with either an open 9mm or bolt-through 15mm axle, plus straight 1.125" or tapered steerer. The Fox 32 Performance fork is available in 26", 650b and 29" wheel sizes, all with a three-position GRIP damper. The FIT4 damper and Float air spring are used, though there is the option of a two-position bar-mounted remote instead of the top cap mounted adjustments the FIT4 has as standard. The Fox 32 Factory fork is available in both 29" and 650b wheels with 120mm of travel, a 15mm through-axle and a tapered steerer.
Performance forks use a GRIP cartridge damper which offers three-position compression adjustment. The Fox 32 Step-Cast is available for 650b and 29" wheel sizes in Factory and Performance spec, all having 100mm of air-sprung travel, a tapered steerer and standard or Boost hub spacing with a 15mm through axle. These use thicker-walled upper legs to increase stiffness and so deal better with the extra bulk of an electric bike. There are also E-bike specific versions of the Fox 34 and Fox 36 series. They're pitched at the lightweight cross-country and lightweight trail markets respectively. Step Cast modelsįox has introduced 'Step-Cast' versions of both the 32 and 34 series, which use a narrower stance plus slimmed down, stepped lower legs to help reduce weight. The Rhythm forks have a slightly less adjustable GRIP damper and the lower legs are cast from a heavier but more affordable grade of aluminium to keep costs down. This is an original equipment (OEM) only level of fork that you'll on see specced on complete bikes. The lower legs are the same as the higher end forks, however. Different, less complicated FIT GRIP dampers are used and the upper legs are again black anodised. This is the entry-level specification of Fox forks that are available on the aftermarket. This is the middle of the Fox forks range and while they share the same high-end damper technologies as the Factory forks with FIT4 and FIT GRIP2 options, the upper legs just have a black anodised finish rather than the Kashima coat. The Kashima treatment creates microscopic pores on the upper legs that retain lubricating oil as the forks cycles through the travel, making it much slippier. All these models have high-end FIT4 and FIT GRIP 2 dampers and use the distinctive golden 'Kashima' coating on the upper legs to reduce friction and increase wear life. This is the highest level of Fox fork and is priced accordingly. In addition to these base chassis designs, here are a number of different specification levels for each of them, which is why the Fox fork range adds up to around 160 different models. All of Fox's aftermarket forks use air springs.
