01Fox states the 38 is their best-selling fork (confirmed by Fox in public statements, 2025)
02Both Fox 38 and RockShox ZEB launched in April 2020 — no coincidence, both responding to EWS demand for stiffer single-crown enduro forks
03The GRIP X2 damper design was inspired by motocross/supercross suspension philosophy: big ports (24mm base valve, 23 shims vs 20mm/7 shims in GRIP2) for plush-yet-controlled feel
04MY2027 torsional stiffness was intentionally REDUCED by 6.8% — a counterintuitive but deliberate choice to improve trail-following and reduce rider fatigue on rough terrain
05MY2027 air spring runs ~20% lower pressure than prior gen for the same sag — result of Glidecore design and larger negative chamber
06Fox Podium USD fork ($2,000) was used to develop Glidecore and revised GRIP X2 — MY2027 38 inherits that R&D at $630 less
07MY2027 internals are NOT backward-compatible with MY2020-2026 38 chassis — no upgrade path for existing 38 owners
08Richie Rude won multiple EWS/EDR World Championships on Fox 38 — most notably 2025 EDR World Championship
