FOX Racing Shox

32 Float SC 29in Factory Grip SL Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I race the FOX 32 SC GRIP SL on my hardtail, and it's been a total game-changer. The Push-Lock version lets me toggle between modes without letting go of the bars—huge on technical climbs. I also like the 3-position manual version on less aggressive courses for quick adjustments without the weight of a remote. Either way, this fork balances control and weight better than anything else I’ve ridden."

Built for modern XC and marathon racing, the FOX 32 Factory SC with GRIP SL damper pushes the limits of lightweight efficiency and stiffness. This version of the Step-Cast series delivers 100mm of finely tuned travel in a package weighing just 1276g, making it one of the lightest suspension forks available for 29-inch wheels. The chassis features FOX’s signature reverse arch to increase stiffness by 40%, improving steering response and control on demanding courses.

The GRIP SL damper is engineered for pure race performance, offering both 3-position on-crown adjustment and a Push-to-Lock remote version for handlebar-mounted control. Riders can dial in the fork based on preference or race-day needs—whether optimizing for fast terrain changes or minimizing bar clutter. Both versions benefit from the FLOAT EVOL air spring, which provides support early in the stroke and remains supple for technical sections.

Performance touches like Kashima-coated stanchions, a lightweight Kabolt SL axle, and post-mount compatibility with 160mm or 180mm rotors make this fork ideal for competitive setups. For racers demanding minimal weight, maximum control, and tuning flexibility, the FOX 32 Factory SC GRIP SL is a top-tier choice.
