Fox Shox Grip X2 Cartridge

This specific cartridge is designed for 2025 Fox 36 forks with 170mm of travel. It is not a universal part, so please verify your fork's model year and stanchion diameter before purchasing.

The Grip X2 offers significantly more tuning capability than standard dampers. By separating high and low-speed circuits for both compression and rebound, you can fine-tune your suspension to handle high-speed chatter and low-speed support independently, leading to better traction and control.

Installing a damper cartridge requires specific suspension tools, including a torque wrench, damper seal tools, and the correct suspension fluid. If you are comfortable performing a full fork lower leg service and damper swap, it is manageable, but we recommend professional installation if you lack the specialized tools.

The Grip X2 is a more advanced, race-oriented damper that provides independent adjustment for high and low-speed compression and rebound. While the standard Grip damper is excellent for general riding, the X2 allows for precise adjustments that help you maintain composure through technical, high-speed terrain.

Yes, because the Grip X2 changes the damping characteristics of your fork, you will likely need to reset your sag and re-evaluate your air pressure or spring preload. We recommend starting with your baseline settings and adjusting your compression and rebound clicks from there.
