Podium Factory Grip X2 Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Podium Factory’s inverted design and massive 47mm stanchions set a new benchmark for single-crown stiffness and tracking. The GRIP X2 damper and GlideCore air spring offer incredible small-bump compliance and support under big compressions. With a 20mm Boost axle and huge bushing overlap, it’s the fork we trust for high-speed, technical riding where precision and control are everything."

FOX’s Podium Factory fork is purpose-built for riders who demand downhill performance without moving to a dual-crown setup. The inverted chassis design, 47mm upper tubes, and oversized crown deliver fore-aft and torsional stiffness that rivals full-on DH forks, while the 20x110mm Boost axle keeps steering precise through the roughest terrain. The GRIP X2 damper is re-tuned for the unique demands of the USD platform, offering increased compression support and plush, controlled travel over everything from high-speed chatter to big drops. The FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring minimizes friction and maintains sensitivity, even under heavy side loads, while the huge 175mm bushing overlap ensures smooth, consistent action deep into the travel. Available in 160mm and 170mm travel options, the Podium Factory is ready for aggressive trail, enduro, and eMTB builds, with direct 200mm post mount and compatibility up to 230mm rotors for maximum braking power. At 2695g, it’s a robust choice for riders who prioritize control and confidence at speed.
