This caters to a wider range of rider types with better bump recovery, excellent transitions during repetitive hits, and an amazing adjustment range.<\/p>\n<p>The magic behind VVC is the leaf spring design. Working in conjunction with a traditional shim stack, the high-speed rebound adjuster changes the leverage points on the leaf spring. This not only regulates the high-speed rebound\u00a0damping,\u00a0but effectively changes valve stiffness, improving damping performance with faster recovery during multiple hits and allowing the fork to ride higher in the travel for a more compliant feel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-200509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed2-1-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed2-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On the compression side, a sophisticated mid-valve design allows more effective shaping of the compression damping curve, offering confidence-inspiring support to combat brake dive and increase cornering stability.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-200510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed3-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/unnamed3-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The development of GRIP2 allowed for additional engineering improvements, including updated low-friction seals that help improve small bump compliance and honed, polished, and coated shaft and tube surfaces to further eliminate friction for an unmatched riding experience.<\/p>\n<p>Available in Factory and Performance Elite 36 and 40 forks, GRIP2 features 4-way adjustability that complements the X2\u00a0high performance\u00a0shocks, allowing riders to match the front and rear end feel.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridefox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridefox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><br \/>\nRide FOX<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using the original GRIP architecture as a blueprint, the new damper has been enhanced with new technology: 4-way adjustability, an innovative VVC high-speed rebound circuit, a high-performance mid-valve, and a dramatic reduction in friction.
