Fox 40 Float Factory Grip 2 Kashima 29" 20 Thru-Axle x 110 Boost Rake 52 mm
The 40's Grip2 damper delivers ultimate performance and control when the going gets rough. Equipped with Fox's patent-pending Variable Valve Control (VVC) high- and low-speed rebound adjuster, improved compression damping and less friction overall, the 40 is just as comfortable in the bike park as it is racing the World Cup circuit.
"Factory" says it all. The best-of-the-best technology Fox has to offer is available in their Factory Series models with its buttery smooth, and ultra durable Genuine Kashima Coat. These products are World Cup proven.

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.
- Il design della Mid-valve permette un controllo più efficace della curva di compressione – quindi un ulteriore livello di personalizzazione. Il design del sistema riduce l’attrito dello stelo per garaGrip2 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.
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.
Float EVol Air Spring
EVol technology from rear shocks is integrated into all Fox forks. EVol increases negative air spring volume, specifically positioned and sized for optimum small bump sensitivity.
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.
Floating axle
Floating axles might look similar to other axles, but in fact they offer a distinct performance advantage due to their unique ability to match the exact width of the fork’s wheel mounting surface precisely to the front hub flange spacing, thus creating perfect chassis alignment and eliminating unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs. Floating axles provide much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of the fork’s travel, notably improving sensitivity and overall
Lower leg channels
As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. The lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping.
Lower leg arch
Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours poring over every ounce of material in an effort to optimize this critical ratio. Fox all-new lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity style riding.
Bleeders
Lower leg bleeders allow for atmospheric pressure equalization at the simple press of a button. Pressure build-up in the lower legs dramatically decreases fork performance, preventing full travel from being achieved, and diminishing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.
Included
