Fox Podium Factory 160mm

Fox Podium Factory 160mm: an inverted suspension fork built for descending

47mm uppers and a burly crown: the front wheel holds its line

The 47mm upper tubes and the massive crown give the front of the bike exceptional fore-aft stiffness. The front wheel stays on the line you picked, even when the trail turns chaotic. The floating axle rounds things out by keeping the chassis aligned under heavy loads.

GlideCore and Grip X2: smoother action, more traction

The FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring smooths out the suspension action and cuts down on fatigue over long descents. The Grip X2 damper meters compression and rebound to keep the tire in contact with the ground, exactly where traction matters most. Bleeders help limit pressure build-up inside the lowers.

Who is it for?

This inverted fork is for downhill and big-terrain riders who want DH fork behaviour in a single-crown package, without changing their bike's familiar geometry. It calls for a 1.5 Tapered steerer frame, a 20mm Boost hub wheel and a 200mm Direct Post Mount rotor. Compare it with our forks and shocks to pick the right amount of travel for your bike.
