FOX Racing Shox

38 Air Shaft

Fox Racing Shox is renowned for its high-performance suspension products that enhance ride quality and handling, especially in off-road and mountain biking. Their innovative technology and design focus on providing superior control and comfort, making them a top choice for serious cyclists.

The Performance Elite and Factory 38 Float are both advanced suspension forks, but the Factory model typically offers higher performance and more adjustability features. The "38" indicates the larger stanchion diameter, which provides increased stiffness and stability, while "Float" refers to the air spring technology that allows for a smoother ride.

The air shaft is crucial for providing support and cushioning. It can be adjusted to change the fork's response to bumps and impacts, allowing you to customize your ride. Properly tuning the air pressure in the air shaft can significantly enhance comfort and control on various terrains.

Parts made to OEM specs are manufactured to the same standards and specifications as the original components that came with your bike. This ensures that they fit perfectly and perform just like the original parts, maintaining the bike's overall performance and reliability.

A shock pump is specifically designed to inflate the air chambers in suspension forks and shocks to high pressures in small volumes. This allows for precise adjustments to the air pressure, which is essential for fine-tuning your suspension performance. Using a regular bike pump may not provide the accuracy needed for optimal suspension setup.

To choose the right suspension fork, consider factors such as your bike's frame compatibility, riding style, and terrain. Look for forks that match your bike's specifications and offer the features you need, like adjustability and travel length. If you're unsure, consult with a bike shop or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for recommendations.
