THE DOWNHILL RACER’S EDGE

Target locked on the top step of the podium and developed in the crucible of World Cup competition, the 40 is the definitive DH race fork. The GRIP X2 damper now offers more tunability and traction than ever before, ensuring the 40 stays planted in the hot seat.

To celebrate 50 Years of pushing potential further, FOX is releasing a run of Factory forks in our brand-new limited Podium Gold colorway. Once sold out, this color will not be restocked.

GRIP X2

GRIP X2 is the most tunable, supportive and smoothest descent-focused damper ever created by FOX. Riders reap the benefits of sitting higher in the travel while tires stay glued to the ground, cornering with increased traction. It gives you the confidence to push the limits of downhill and enduro racing, all while reducing overall rider fatigue. GRIP X2 is the winning difference.

LOWER LEG BLEEDERS AND BYPASS CHANNELS

Bleeders allow atmospheric pressure equalization at the push of a button. Lower leg bypass channels increase volume to alleviate pressure ramping as the fork moves through its travel. Both result in better fork performance by increasing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.

LOWER LEG ARCH

The lower leg design of the 40 while maximizes strength and steering stiffness for downhill performance while adding no unnecessary weight.

FLOATING AXLE

The 40’s floating thru axle allows perfect chassis alignment and reduces unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs, providing much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of travel.
