The new FOX Podium fork isn’t just a bold step forward—it’s a complete rethink of what a single crown fork can do. Engineered from the ground up with an inverted design, massive 47mm uppers, and FOX’s custom-tuned GRIP X2 damper, Podium brings dual crown levels of stiffness and confidence to a lighter, more responsive package.
Developed for World Cup downhill performance and built to thrive on full-power eMTBs, this fork delivers unreal small-bump sensitivity, ultra-consistent damping, and a level of precision that makes you feel faster the harder you push.
And yes—we’ve ridden it. The Brink team has already had Podium on test bikes and out on proper terrain. With teardown videos, first ride impressions, and side-by-side comparisons coming at launch, you’ll get the full lowdown from us and the world’s fastest pros.
Whether you're chasing seconds on your enduro rig or looking for the ultimate suspension upgrade for your eMTB, Podium gives you the unfair advantage.
Traditional forks rely on big lowers. Podium inverts the chassis, moving the stiffness up top with massive 47mm uppers and a forged crown that rivals the FOX 40. The result? Fore-aft stiffness like a dual crown—in a single crown package.
Custom 20 x 110mm DH Axle
A steel Boost DH axle gives Podium unmatched torsional stiffness, eliminating the vague steering feel that plagued earlier inverted designs.
All the Bushing Overlap
175mm bushing overlap.
More overlap = more stability. Podium outperforms the FOX 40 in bushing overlap, reducing chassis flex and friction when under load.
GlideCore Air Spring
FOX’s new GlideCore air spring flexes with the fork under load, reducing internal friction and boosting small bump sensitivity in real-world terrain.
Custom Tuned GRIP X2 Damper
The proven GRIP X2 gets a custom tune for Podium, with more compression support and lighter rebound to match the fork’s low friction and unsprung weight. Riders say it feels smoother the harder you push.
Full Oil Immersion
The inverted layout means bath oil constantly lubricates the seals, reducing friction and improving longevity—plus it sheds debris better than traditional designs.
Lower Unsprung Mass
By moving the heavier tubes up top, Podium reduces unsprung mass, improving sensitivity and giving your front wheel a faster response on both compression and rebound.
