Description
The new king has arrived.
The Fox Podium is the all-new mountain bike fork from legendary suspension artists Fox. The Podium has a clear focus, to be the ultimate single crown fork for technical riding and hitting the worlds most challenging lines and features.
The Podium is more than just a new fork, this is a new category of front suspension, designed to give dual crown DH fork performance in a single crown chassis. An immediate, significant upgrade to any electric, enduro or all-mountain bike.
The striking inverted design enabled Fox to squeeze every ounce of performance from the Grip X2 damper, and the newly developed GlideCore air spring delivers next-level smoothness. Designed with built-in lateral and axial compliance, it allows the spring to flex with the fork under high loads, reducing binding and stiction. The result is a smoother ride feel, improved small bump sensitivity, and better control when the terrain gets wild.
The inverted design also shortens the distance from the lower fork bushing to the axle as the fork compresses. This reduces leverage on the bushing, minimizing friction just when riders need it most - charging hard into deep travel on technical terrain.
Pinkbike Review: The Fox Podium isn't for everybody. The weight, cost, and limited travel offerings make it something of a specialty item, but boy is it good. For the intended purpose, it may just be the best single crown fork I've ridden, taking the category one step further.
You can use 0% finance for up to 36 months or Klarna at checkout. If you would like to enquire about purchasing this on Cycle to Work some schemes will allow it - we can help advise.
KEY FEATURES -
- Awesome inverted design
- 29" wheel size
- 160mm or 170mm travel option
- Full oil immersion keeps seals constantly lubricated while gravity helps shed contamination.
- Reduced unsprung mass—thanks to the inverted design—improves suspension responsiveness.
- Custom tuned GRIP X2 Damper
- Unbeatable chassis stiffness - even more than the Fox 40 DH fork
- 20x110mm boost DH axle
GRIP X2 DAMPER -
Podium is equipped with a specially tuned GRIP X2 damper, known for its four-way adjustability and race-proven control. With enhanced compression damping to match the fork’s reduced friction and slightly softened rebound to balance lower unsprung mass, Podium’s damping curve is designed for aggressive descending, enduro competition, and eMTB domination
Reaction from Biketart staff has been nothing but glowing, initially on the fantastic look of the fork but most importantly the other-worldly performance out on the trail. We were lucky enough to ride these ahead of launch and they've blown us away with their plushness and composure. Sure they're expensive but they're the best fork we've ever ridden. We've invested heavily in stock as we believe this fork makes a whole lot of sense for ebike riders and anyone after the absolute best in performance.
Please note - mudguard pictured is sold separately, available HERE
20x110mm axle - To fit a Fox Podium you will need a front wheel that fits a 20x110mm thru-axle. We recommend the Hope Fortus 30W (these come as 15x110mm but can be easily converted with an adapter kit) or the DT Swiss F 1900. Contact us at support@biketart.com to discuss options or fitting.
