Fox celebrates its birthday and launches a new generation of suspension forks for MTBs

With the development of mountain biking in recent years, the needs of bikers who want to maximise the potential of their MTB have also evolved. This is what the US company writes on its website.

Building on 50 years of suspension innovation, Fox launched three shocks on the market in 2024, each of which, according to the company, has been developed from scratch and is intended to represent "the pinnacle of suspension performance". The "Grip X2" suspension fork has been developed for downhill routes, the "Grip X" stands for all-mountain traction and use on technical trails and the "Grip SL" is the lightest XC damper for cross-country routes.

Fox Grip SL, Grip X and Grip X2

According to Fox, every gram counts in endurance sports. With the "Grip SL", the company has developed a short-travel suspension fork that not only reduces weight, but can also "keep up with the increasingly demanding World Cup XCO and XCM races". The "Grip SL" is available with 40, 50, 100 and 120 millimetres of travel. Depending on the tube diameter, it costs between 949 and 1019 US dollars from Fox.

According to Fox, the "Grip X" was developed for all-mountain terrain and aggressive trail riding as well as with steep climbs in mind, while the strength of the "Grip X2" is designed for downhill trails. The company was inspired by motocross and supercross racing suspensions. The "Grip X" is available with 130, 140, 150 and 160 millimetres of suspension travel, while the "Grip X2" is equipped with 160, 170, 180 and 200 millimetres.

The "Grip X" costs between 899 and 1149 US dollars at Fox, depending on the version, while the "Grip X2" costs between 1149 and 1849 US dollars.
