Sneak Peek: Prototype XC FOX fork with step down lowers
Prototype FOX Fork with Step Down Casting (click to enlarge).
Spotted on the instagram account of Peter James Lucas, this yet to be released 32mm XC fork from FOX that appears to be close to production. The fork is mounted on what we assume is a Trek Superfly HT (due to the seat mast tube) that is the same shade of candy red used by several of Treks World Cup XC racers last season.
The most interesting feature of the new chassis appears to be the stepped lowers, which taper near the axle. This design probably helps reduce weight. Also of note – black stanchions. Does this mean no more golden Kashima coat?
We’ve reached out to FOX for more details and will update whenever we hear back!
