Podium Factory inverted fork delivers downhill-level stiffness and control in a single-crown package
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Podium Factory fork is the closest thing to a DH fork you can run on a trail bike. Its inverted chassis, 47mm uppers, and 20mm Boost axle give it unreal stiffness and steering precision, while the GRIP X2 damper and GlideCore air spring keep things smooth and planted through the roughest lines. It’s confidence-inspiring for riders who want to push hard, go big, and never worry about flex."
We ride hard, and the FOX Podium Factory fork lets us push even harder. FOX’s inverted chassis design brings downhill-caliber stiffness and plushness to a single-crown platform, making it a standout for aggressive enduro, eMTB, and big-mountain trail builds. The 47mm upper tubes and massive crown keep the front end rock-solid, so we can charge through rock gardens and steep chutes without hesitation. The GRIP X2 damper and FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring deliver off-the-top sensitivity and buttery smooth travel, soaking up everything from small trail chatter to big hits. The 20mm Boost thru-axle and floating axle system maximize torsional stiffness, so steering stays razor-sharp even at race pace. With bushing overlap that rivals DH forks, the Podium Factory feels ultra-planted and tracks predictably, letting us hold a line no matter how rough or fast the trail gets.
