mm of travel, the Step-Cast lower leg design and
narrow crown spacing save weight while the 32 mm
upper tubes maintain FOX ride quality.

32 SC Chassis Design
The distinct shape of the lower leg design isnt just for
looks. The 32 Step-Cast (SC) chassis uses a narrow
stance to save weight and the step design makes room
for the spokes and brake rotor. The 32 SC features 32
mm upper tubes and ample bushing overlap for a quality
ride and the hollowed out lower legs provide even more
weight savings.

120mm upper tube spacing (32 model uses 130mm)

Max tire size 2.3

Max rotor size: 27.5- 180mm, 29 203mm

Rake: 27.5 44mm, 29 44mm or 51mm

Speed Pedelec

Our Speed Pedelec forks are made specifically

for the rigors of E-BIKES with a stouter chassis
and increased durability due to adding material
to strengthen critical areas. The design also
uses tuning originally done for Enduro use,
which fits the needs of the E-MTB and overall
E-BIKE rider very well.

Model Year 2017

Fork & Shock Technologies

FOX Isolated Technology

FIT HSC/LSC
Using our proven Championship- and awardwinning FIT sealed cartridge design, HSC/LSC
is our most advanced damper.

High- and low-speed compression adjust

Rebound adjust

Low friction seal head design

Low viscosity damper oil for improved

rebound performance

16

FOX Isolated Technology

FIT4
Now in its fourth generation, our patented FIT4
(FOX Isolated Technology) closed cartridge
system provides three on-the-fly compression
damping positionsOpen, Medium, and Firm
to adapt to varying trail conditions.
Factory Series forks feature an additional 22
clicks of low-speed compression adjust in the
Open mode, allowing riders to fine-tune their
exact damping preferences.
The FIT4 cartridge damper was redesigned
based on our award-winning HSC/LSC damper,
resulting in a much higher performing damper
across all forks. This year, the FIT4 damper
received an updated tune that provides more
sensitivity while maintaining support.

FIT GRIP

Inspired from moto, the new GRIP damper

uses our FIT sealed cartridge technology
combined with a coil-sprung, independent
floating piston.
GRIP allows excess oil to purge through
specially designed ports at the top of the
damper to maintain consistent damping and
increase durability.
Performance Series forks provide Open,
Medium, and Firm modes with additional
micro-adjust between settings.
GRIP brings a new level of performance to
price point bike models.

18

FLOAT Air Spring

Patented Air Transfer Port System
The FLOAT air spring system reduces the force to initiate travel,
providing excellent sensitivity and small bump compliance for all riders
and pressure settings.
Similar to our FLOAT rear shocks, the FLOAT air spring system
features positive and negative air springs that automatically equalize
during use to give each rider the right pressure balance. The
progressiveness of the spring curve can be adjusted via air volume
spacers, allowing riders to fine-tune the feel of the air spring.
FLOAT air springs can be tuned using volume spacers to make them
more or less progressive, allowing riders to fine-tune their suspension
to their needs.

EVOL
EVOL Air Sleeve
Our Extra Volume (EVOL) air sleeve
significantly reduces the force to initiate
travel, providing added sensitivity and better
small bump compliance. The
progressiveness of the spring curve can be
adjusted via air volume spacers, allowing
riders to fine-tune the feel of the air spring.
Significantly reduces the force to initiate
travel, providing excellent small bump
performance and traction

Increased negative volume provides more

Adjustable spring curve via air volume
spacers

Softer initial stroke

Model Year 2017 Accessories

SLS Spring
Super Light Steel
Our Super Lightweight Steel (SLS) springs are
lighter than titanium at more affordable prices.
A proprietary surface treatment and stress
relief process removes residual stresses from
the spring, allowing them to withstand higher
stresses.
Each spring is optimized by using a smaller
wire diameter and fewer coils, creating a lighter
spring.
