The lightest FOX fork ever created is the FOX 32 Taper-Cast. This fork is specifically engineered for optimal weight savings, making it the top choice for riders prioritizing a lightweight setup.
Engineered for Minimal Weight
The FOX 32 Taper-Cast stands out due to its meticulous design focused on shedding every possible gram. Its lightweight nature is primarily attributed to several key engineering choices:
- Tapered Lowers: The fork's lower legs feature a tapered design. This not only provides structural integrity where needed but also strategically reduces material in less stressed areas, leading to significant weight reduction without compromising performance.
- Lightweight 12x100 Kabolt Thru-Axle: The integration of the 12x100 Kabolt thru-axle is crucial for its minimal weight. The Kabolt system is renowned for its lightweight and secure design, further contributing to the overall svelteness of the fork.
These design elements work in tandem to create a fork that offers exceptional performance while maintaining an incredibly low weight, making it ideal for applications where every gram counts, such as gravel biking, cross-country racing, or any setup where efficiency and speed are paramount.
