The Fox 38 K Float 29" Factory Boost with Kashima Coat, improved GRIP2 cartridge, is a lightweight suspension fork with 170mm travel - designed for Enduro riders.

High stiffness, innovative and lightweight: the new 38 K Float 29" Factory 170 Grip2 Tapered Boost from Fox Racing

All the revolutionary features of the new 36 are packed into a super durable frame, specially designed for modern, tough Enduro races with long suspension travel: The new 38 is at the starting line! Whatever stands in its way, it will never tire of pushing for even more speed.

The award-winning 38 gets a huge performance boost thanks to the improved 4-way adjustable FIT GRIP2 damper. Equipped with the dual patent-pending Variable Valve Control (VVC) high and low-speed rebound adjusters, improved compression damping, and overall lower friction, the 38 offers a new level of performance and adjustability on par with X2 shocks. The high-speed compression and high-speed rebound stages are now easily adjustable with 8 clicks each. "Factory" says it all. The best technology we have to offer is available in the Factory series models with our original Kashima coating, smooth as butter and ultra-durable. These products are World Cup tested. The external steps at the bottom of the crown reduce weight.

The new 38 features a new patent-pending floating quick-release lever axle system that combines the benefits of a floating axle with the ease of a tool-free quick release. With this system, the spacing is locked by a floating sleeve, allowing the front wheel to be removed and reinstalled repeatedly while maintaining perfect fork alignment. The floating sleeve positioning is factory preset, so if you're unsure how to use the floating axle system or simply don't want to deal with it, you can just install the front wheel and continue your ride.

Modern frames and geometry trends require modern suspension design solutions. The arch design of the brand-new 38 is engineered to perfectly match modern Enduro and Downhill bikes. Head tube profiles have become larger and fork offsets shorter. The new arch shape accounts for this need, extending forward to provide ample space for the head tube at maximum compression.
