THE DOWNHILL RACER’S EDGE
Target locked on the top step of the podium, developed in the crucible of World Cup competition, the 40 is the definitive DH race fork. A Grip2 damper with VVC, and an updated EVOL air spring, along with a host of other radical performance driven features, ensure that the 40 stays in the hot seat.
SMOOTHER, STIFFER, MORE GRIP
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.
“Factory” says it all – feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of our Factory-level riders. What we sell is what they race. Factory Series products feature slippery smooth, ultra-durable Genuine Kashima Coat.
