Technologies

Grip2

Next-Generation sealed cartridge damper. Grip2 is a next-evolution sealed cartridge Fit system, the highest performing gravity-focused damper. The new damper shares its roots with the original Grip architecture, but has been seriously enhanced with all-new technology:

  • 4-Way adjustment (HSC/LSC/HSR/LSR).
  • Grip2 Variable Valve Control (VVC): Fit Grip2 now features high-speed rebound using the novel and patent-pending approach.
  • Grip2 Mid-Valve: a sophisticated mid-valve design allows more effective shaping of the compression damping curve, offering confidence-inspiring support that resists brake dive.
  • Friction reduction: during the development of Grip2, engineering uncovered improvements that greatly reduce friction. Low friction seals help improve small bump compliance and honed, polished, and coated shaft and tube surfaces further eliminate friction for an unmatched ride experience.

Kabolt

The development of this super light, bolted 15x100 mm thru axle has been inspired by Geoff Kabush through the Fox RAD program. Assembly is done with just a simple 6 mm hex key.

EVol (Extra Volume)

Patented Air Transfer Port System. An EVol linear spring curve gives forks and shocks plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tunable bottom-out progression, allowing riders to tap into the ideal pairing of front and rear-end feel.

Genuine Kashima coat

Buttery smooth. Kashima's distinctive gold color is backed by its high performance attributes—properties that provide an exceptionally smooth feel and extreme durability.
