32 Step-Cast – Made for Marathon
40% stiffer and more precise. As one of the lightest MTB models, the FOX 32 Step-Cast fork is practically predestined for marathon racing. The reduced weight and increased stiffness are due to the intelligent interaction of numerous factors, such as the thin, rearward-facing Reverse arch and the revised crown. As a representative of the Performance series, the fork equipped with the proven FLOAT air suspension features black anodized 7000 series aluminum upper tubes. Technically, the reliable GRIP damper ensures an excellent riding experience.

GRIP To achieve maximum performance, the GRIP damper not only has the same internal floating piston and spring as the higher-class models, but also an updated pressure equalization function. Specially developed openings in the upper area also allow excess oil to drain, increasing durability and ensuring consistent damping.
Redesigned Crown The 7000 series aluminum Zero-Offset fork crown is designed for the angled upper tubes, so pre-bending no longer has to be achieved using additional material. This not only increases stiffness but, in combination with the ultra-lightweight steerer tube, allows for a weight reduction of 20 grams compared to the previous model.
Rear Arch Matrix The construction with the rearward-facing fork arch offers 40% more stiffness. At the same time, the attractive Arch Matrix design reduces weight.
Kabolt SL Compared to the traditional Kabolt thru-axle, the Super Light version saves another 12 grams. This weight reduction is made possible not only by reducing the flange diameter, but also by eliminating the axle nut.
