New Crown – Lighter by 20 grams, while increasing steerer-tube overlap at the CSU, the new crown design improves durability while Fox's engineering maintains stiffness and drops weight.

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

Lower Leg Bypass Channels – Increasing air volume within the lower legs reduces the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Lower leg bath oil also circulates to the upper reaches of the legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel.

1.5" Tapered Aluminum Steerer

Kashima Coated Stanchions – The 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 Bleeders – These little buttons allow for atmospheric pressure equalization for better fork performance, allowing full travel to be achieved and increasing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.

FLOAT EVOL Air Spring – EVOL 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.

Rotor Size – 180 Direct Post Mount, Up to 230 Compatible

FIT4 Damper – In its fourth generation, this patented closed cartridge system provides 3 on-the-fly compression damping positions--open, medium, and firm--to adapt to varying trail conditions. This Factory Series model also has 22 clicks of low-speed compression in Open mode, along with 10 clicks of low-speed rebound, all of this is on top of initial air spring pressure and volume spacer compatibility, making for a very tunable setup.
