Product Info

For XC racers and KOM chasers, the Fox Shox 32 Step-Cast Podium Gold GRIP SL Fork is the first and last name in high performance suspension. Weighing under 1300g, this is a featherweight fork with heavyweight capabilities. Its sleek, generatively designed rear arch increases torsional stiffness by 40% over its predecessor, and it's powered by the incredible new GRIP SL damper for efficient, fatigue reducing performance whether you're hammering pedals or rallying through mid-course jank. Quite simply, the Fox Shox 32 Step-Cast Podium Gold GRIP SL Fork is lighter, stronger, and more versatile than any XC fork that has come before. This extra special limited edition is decked out in full podium gold to celebrate Fox's 50th anniversary, as repped by athletes on the World Cup race circuit. Don't sleep on it!

Product Details

Construction & Measurements

Kashima Coated StanchionsThe smoothest of the smooth, plus it looks cooler. The gold Kashima coating has become synonymous with friction-free suspension actuation, and it's only available on Fox Factory components.

Lower Leg ChannelsAs 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. Fox's 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. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel.

New Rear Arch MatrixThe rear arch matrix was generatively designed to increase torsional stiffness by 40% over the previous 32 SC while minimizing weight. With the new 32 SC being available in 100mm travel only, the rear arch has all the necessary clearance for XC frames.

New 7000 Series Aluminum CrownFox gave the 32 SC a new 7000 Series aluminum crown, utilizing geometry that maintains strength while dropping nine grams. The crown has zero offset with angled stanchions to achieve the 44mm rake, reducing the amount of aluminum needed.

Features

FLOAT EVOL Air SpringEVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimizing small bump sensitivity. EVOL’s linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tunable bottom-out progression.

Kabolt SL AxleKabolt SL, a lightweight bolt-on floating axle to shave grams and increase torsional stiffness via a sleeveless, single-sided pinch bolt design.

Adjustments

GRIP SL DamperThe GRIP SL is an incredibly light, short travel-specific damper that not only saves weight, but provides an unparalleled ride feel in its class. Riders experience a supple stroke with an optimized pedal-to-bump efficiency, as well as a smooth blowoff force in lockout mode to reduce rider fatigue.
