All this while keeping your bike in a familiar range of travel and geometry in a single crown package. With its revolutionary inverted design, oversized 47mm upper tubes, massive crown, and custom-tuned GRIP X2 damper, the Podium delivers incredible fore-aft rigidity approaching that of a FOX 40, letting you power through the roughest and steepest trails with absolute confidence, even at Downhill race speed.

Features

• Revolutionary inverted fork design provides unmatched stiffness and performance, bringing DH fork capabilities to a single-crown package.

• Oversized 47mm upper tubes and massive crown deliver incredible fore-aft rigidity approaching FOX 40 performance levels.

• Custom-tuned GRIP X2 damper optimized with more compression support to account for reduced chassis friction, keeping riders higher in the travel.

• FLOAT Glidecore air spring reduces friction by moving seamlessly with the fork under dynamic load, with large Nitrile Butadiene rings dampening motion.

• Custom steel 20 x 110mm Boost DH axle achieves optimum torsional stiffness, verified through extensive blind testing by engineers and athletes.

• Inverted design eliminates the traditional arch, delivering superior stiffness and precision steering even at race speeds.
