Fox Racing Shox Podium Factory Grip X2 Fork

FOX Podium – The fork with an unfair advantage 

With the FOX Podium, get ready to redefine your riding experience. Designed to ride like a downhill fork, it combines power, precision, and smoothness in a single crown chassis with exceptional stiffness. Built for extreme enduro and aggressive descents, it delivers a next-level riding experience without sacrificing your bike’s geometry.

Its oversized 47 mm lowers and reinforced crown provide front-to-rear stiffness close to a FOX 40. Paired with a 20 x 110 mm steel Boost DH axle, the Podium absorbs the harshest impacts and holds your line even at downhill race speeds.

At the heart of the fork, the brand new GRIP X2 cartridge specifically developed for the Podium represents the pinnacle of downhill-oriented damping. With its 23 internal shims, it offers unmatched customization:

• High-speed compression: 8 clicks
• Low-speed compression: 18 clicks
• High-speed rebound: 8 clicks
• Low-speed rebound: 16 clicks

This ultra-fine tuning allows you to ride higher in the travel, increase cornering grip, and drastically reduce fatigue on long descents.

The GlideCore air chamber further optimizes smoothness: its large-diameter nitrile seals reduce lateral and axial friction for smooth, responsive action even in extreme conditions.

“This fork looks like it can take more. And it really does.” – Brendan Fairclough, World Cup rider and FOX x Monster athlete

In summary, the FOX Podium is a no-compromise fork designed to dominate the slope, push limits, and redefine standards.
