2020 has been a big year for Fox. Throughout April, the company announced its full 2021 lineup, with updates to nearly its entire suspension offerings, including full redesigns of its Float X2 and DHX2 shocks, updates to the DPX2, plus the release of a new heavy-hitting enduro fork, the 38. While at it, the 36 and 40 were completely redone as well with brand-new castings, improved dampers and air spring tweaks—even the often-overlooked 34 got its very own Grip2 treatment because trail forks deserve nice dampers too. And just for good measure, the Transfer dropper post was redesigned for lighter weight, shorter overall lengths and improved serviceability. See? Very busy.
