This forum is to discuss anything related to the latest FOX 38 fork released in March, 2026. We will update the initial post as we conduct further testing. First Ride Review - 2027 Fox 38 Fork The 38 is revered by many as one of the best single-crown, gravity forks. Stout, stable, unwavering. It's a fork that lets you hit stuff hard with minimal consequence. Of course, popularity breeds critique. Some have found the 38 a bit stiff, inconsistent, and harsh at times. The changes that came in 2024, namely new bushings, bypass channels, and the Grip X2 damper, remedied...

It's not uncommon for the summit of Whiteface to be 10-15°F cooler than the base. The race course starts well under half the way up the mountain, so it shouldn't be affected too much, but it means there might be some cool shots with frost or dustings of snow at the top, and fall foliage at the bottom.

Jonathon Simonetti Added a reply to 32-inch Wheels and Mountain Bikes
8/18/2025 8:51pm Spotted a guy who was maybe 5’8” on a full suspension 32” xc bike today while out on a ride and he was absolutely hauling up and over the top of a choppy fireroad. While it seems pretty EPIC for that application, I think the shorter dimensions and steeper angles of short travel bikes are what allow it to work...

Canyon will be the first, it'll be called the phase shifter. No one on earth will use it, except for Jesse Melamed... and he will beat everyone's pants off with it. 
But seriously, canyon is primed for some sort of real time, variable leverage rate situation with their shape shifter. KISS... amirite?
