The completely redesigned 38 features all the functions and technologies like the pure downhill fork 40 and expands its impressive capabilities as a leading enduro fork. It excels with the new cut shims for better responsiveness and tuning behavior than ever before – for smooth damping, control, and traction. The new GlideCore air shaft significantly reduces friction, especially under axial loads, such as when quickly rolling over large stones or roots. The special construction minimizes misalignment at the stanchion, designed like the upside-down fork Podium. Grip X2 cartridge stands for the best downhill performance and ultimate tunability – high/low-speed compression adjustment as well as high/low rebound adjustment. Updated vent valves, offset bypass channels, and aggressive arch design, along with stiffer and lighter lowers, complete the new chassis. Brake disc size from 200-230mm and maximum tire width of 2.6". Maximum fender compatible for both long and short versions.
