The Fox 36 Podium Factory Racing 170mm Grip X2 Fork marks a turning point in MTB fork design, and we have it for you at Escapa. It’s FOX’s first production inverted fork, developed specifically for the most aggressive Enduro riding, high-performance eMTBs, and DH. With a radical design, cutting-edge technology, and World Cup-proven performance, the Podium is ready to dominate the most demanding descents.
Technical Specifications:
Type: Single-crown inverted fork
Travel: 170mm
Wheel size: 29"
Cartridge: Grip X2 with Glidecore system
Stems: 68 mm Kashima, protected by carbon sleeves
