"Fox Unveils Revolutionary Lightweight Dampers and XC Fork for 2025"
Fox has released new Grip X and Grip X2 dampers for their XC, trail, and enduro forks, with updates aimed at improving performance without major changes to the 34, 36, and 38 forks. The new dampers feature larger base valves and more shims to control oil flow, resulting in increased effectiveness of end-user tuning, improved traction, and ride height. The Grip X2 and Grip X offer different feels compared to the existing Grip 2, with subtle differences between the two new options. The new dampers are backwards compatible with existing fork models, and chassis updates include reworked bushing designs to reduce friction and improve oil flow. Pricing for the full lineup has been released, and ride impressions indicate positive feedback for the new dampers.
