FOX Podium Factory Fork - GRIP X2 - 29"

The FOX Podium Factory is an inverted single crown fork developed for riders who demand downhill-level performance without the compromises of a dual crown setup. Designed to be ridden hard, the Podium delivers exceptional stiffness, support, and control on the steepest and roughest terrain, all while maintaining the familiar geometry and versatility of a single crown fork.

Built around an inverted chassis with oversized 47mm upper tubes and a massively reinforced crown, the Podium offers outstanding fore-aft and torsional rigidity. Combined with a 20 x 110mm Boost thru-axle, the chassis is engineered to hold precise lines through rock gardens, heavy compressions, and high-speed technical terrain with complete confidence.

At the heart of the Podium is FOX's new FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring. Designed to move dynamically with the fork under load, GlideCore reduces friction within the suspension system, resulting in smoother suspension action, improved small bump sensitivity, and reduced rider fatigue on long, demanding descents.

The Podium is equipped with the latest GRIP X2 damper, FOX's most advanced gravity-focused damper to date. Offering extensive external adjustment and exceptional support throughout the travel, the GRIP X2 delivers increased traction, greater control at speed, and a highly tunable ride feel for riders looking to extract maximum performance from their suspension.

Developed for aggressive enduro riders, eMTB riders, and anyone seeking downhill fork performance in a single crown package, the Podium Factory sets a new benchmark for gravity-focused suspension.
