Description
Engineered for unforgiving descents, technical race lines, and the world’s most demanding riders, FOX introduces Factory Podium Inverted, a new benchmark in single crown fork performance. Delivering exceptional fore-aft rigidity, ultra-smooth travel, and DH-style confidence, Podium brings an unfair advantage to enduro racers and all-mountain riders alike. Podium is designed to be ridden like a downhill fork. No barriers. No hesitation. Complete confidence that your front wheel will hold the line, no matter how fast-or how big-you push it. All this while keeping your bike in a familiar range of travel and geometry in a single crown package. Fox designed this inverted fork to get the absolute maximum performance out of the industry leading GRIP X2 damper, with every possible gain for smoothness in its travel and confidence-inducing fore-aft rigidity in the chassis. Welcome to the Unfair Advantage. Welcome to Podium.
- To take full advantage of a damper s capabilities, FOX engineers pursued the optimal design to provide ultra-low friction under load by turning the traditional fork design on its head with an inverted chassis, providing unmatched damping sensitivity when combined with the award-winning Grip X2 damper
- At the core of Factory Podium Inverted is uncompromising fore-aft stiffness made possible by oversized 47mm upper tubes and a generatively-designed crown structure, allowing riders to hold precise lines with total confidence even at downhill speeds
- To further increase torsional stiffness, FOX replaced the standard 15mm axle with a steel 20 x 110mm Boost DH axle, distributing forces more evenly across the lower leg interface
- 175mm of bushing overlap is 32% more than the 38 and even 7% more than the FOX 40 to deliver an unbeatable chassis stiffness and reduced friction under heavy loads
- The FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring, designed with built-in lateral and axial compliance, allows the spring to flex with the f
