2021 Fox 34 Grip2, DPX2 & Transfer Seatpost

After unveiling a new 36 and 38 last week, Fox is spreading out the news and showing off a new 34 with a Grip2 damper featuring Variable Valve Control (VVC) hydraulics. It is designed for the trail segment, although Fox clearly states that the 32 is now intended only for XC. Fox also introduced a new DPX2 rear shock with some tweaks as well as a Transfer seatpost that sees quite a few updates. More below…
