The Fox 40 RC2 was designed to be the lightest and strongest Downhill fork ever made. The 40mm stanchions and lower legs give the 40 unparalleled stiffness
The left stanchion contains the titanium coil/oil spring with external spring preload adjustment. In the right stanchion you'll find Fox's proprietary externally adjustable dual-speed, position-sensitive damper as well as externally adjustable rebound. The Internal Travel Spacer System provides adjustability from 8 to 6 inches in half-inch increments, letting the rider adjust the travel to the terrain requirements.
The 40 has a stepped 20mm thru-axle allowing the lower leg to settle into a lower friction point and Fox worked with disc brake manufacturers to develop a new Downhill disc brake standard, which creates a lighter and stiffer way to mount up a caliper for DH rotor applications. From its low axle to crown height, to its exceptional lock-to-lock turning radius, no detail was left untouched. At under 7 pounds the 40 weighs in as the new heavyweight world champion.
