THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
Podium is designed to be ridden like a downhill fork. No barriers. No hesitation. Complete confidence that your front wheel will hold the line, no matter how fast or how big you push it. All this while keeping your bike in a familiar range of travel and geometry in a single crown package.
LARGE DIAMETER AXLE
Inverted forks have no arch, so achieving sufficient torsional stiffness was a challenge in the past. Using a custom steel 20 x 110mm Boost DH axle we achieved the optimum torsional stiffness for Podium, verified with extensive (and blind) testing by our engineers and athletes.
CUSTOM TUNED GRIP X2 DAMPER
Podium is powered by the award-winning GRIP X2 damper, tuned for more compression support to account for reduced chassis friction. Riders sit higher in the travel and corner with increased traction, giving greater confidence while reducing fatigue significantly.

OVERSIZED UPPERS. OVERBUILT CROWN.
Podium’s oversized 47mm upper tubes and massive crown give it incredible fore-aft rigidity. The chassis stiffness approaches that of a FOX 40, letting you power through the roughest and steepest trails with absolute confidence, even at Downhill race speed.
GLIDECORE AIR SPRING
GlideCore reduces friction by moving with the fork under dynamic load. Large Nitrile Butadiene rings dampen and control this motion laterally under load and axially to reduce breakaway friction. The result? Smoother suspension action and less overall fatigue.
