📣 Breaking News: Fox Unveils the Podium Inverted MTB Fork — Now Available at J‑Tech Suspension

Yesterday, June 24 2025, Fox officially launched its most radical suspension innovation to date: the Podium inverted single‑crown fork, designed to deliver downhill-level stiffness in a trail-friendly chassis.

What Makes the Podium Stand Out?

  • Inverted USD Design
    – “Upside‑down” layout positions the damper and air spring above the lowered stanchions. This improves bushing overlap and reduces friction, promising a smoother, more responsive ride.
    – Oil bath ensures seals stay lubricated and clean, enhancing durability.

  • Rock‑Solid Rigidity
    – Massive 47 mm upper tubes and a generatively-designed crown give fore–aft stiffness comparable to the dual‑crown Fox 40
    – A beefy 20 × 110 mm steel Boost axle ensures torsional strength

  • Advanced Internals
    – GlideCore air spring and GRIP X2 damper, fine-tuned for this platform, enhance small bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support 
    – Bushing overlap is increased by ~32% compared to Fox 38, improving smoothness under load 

  • Specs & Pricing
    – Available in 160 mm and 170 mm travel, 29″ wheel size, with 58 mm or 68 mm crowns.
    – Weight: ~2695 g. Price: USD 1,999 / GBP 2,199 / EUR 2,399

Expert & Rider Reactions

  • Reviewers praise its plush, race‑ready feel: Pinkbike calls it “excellent bump absorption and plenty of stiffness”.

  • The Loam Wolf reports “incredible off‑the‑top sensitivity” and “leg‑burningly smooth travel”.

  • Online forums are buzzing: one rider noted how it dramatically improved front‑wheel grip and composure after just a few rides.
