FOX 32 Step-Cast 2017 Fork

(discontinued)

With the 2016 Olympics in Rio quickly approaching, the timing makes sense for FOX to update their cross country race fork. What you see here is the new FOX 32 Step-Cast (SC) fork, which uses a wild-looking chassis design that results in incredibly light weights across the 27.5 and 29-inch range. All told they've dropped an impressive 225g (0.5-pounds) off the 27.5-inch 2016 32 model thanks to the new narrower chassis design. Travel is limited to just 100mm (3.9-inches), and it can accommodate a wide range of tires.

The fork also marks the introduction of FOX's new FIT GRIP damper, which falls between their top of the line FIT4 damper and their most affordable models. The FIT GRIP damper could work its way into other models as well.
