David, it's a pleasure to have you here again. Today you are going to talk about the new cartridge
Fit Grip 2! Exactly, in the 2019 campaign of Fox we launched a new hydraulic technology
in a good cartridge, I consider that It's almost a work of art, it's called Fit
Grip 2, which mixes fit technology; we remember that it is the technology of
isolated cartridges, sealed cartridges, with this new grip 2, which first thing
that we see are the four ways of adjustment that has this cartridge. In the part of
up the compression in high and low speed and at the bottom of the
bounce also at high and low speed. We are going to make a clarification because
when we talk about high compression and low speed, we're not talking about the
speed of the bike, we are talking about the speed at which the
piston. So you can understand it better, example, what would be related to the high
speed? Well for example that we we found a bump and the
fork compresses very quickly, there we are talking about compression in
high speed. And the low would be example:
we brake and the hairpin sink a bit ... or when we do the
Rolling the bike when pedaling foot ... or the support in a highlight the
hairpin sinks slowly ... That's the low speed conversion. I have explained it
all right? Perfectly! Very well! Well, you I'll let David show you in detail
the new Fit Grip 2 cartridge.
This Fit Grip 2 cartridge has the latest in the technological development of our
FOX engineering department, has a rebound piston called VVC that
extends the range of rebound adjustment. In this case, as Jesus said, on high
and low speed. It also has a kit low friction joints and a treatment
interior of the tube that softens still plus the operation of the cartridge. Make
really sensitive the functioning and the reading that is going to have on the
ground. The two compressions in the part superior will always be separated
of the bounce and located in the part higher. The oil you are going to use
this inner and outer cartridge of Lubrication is going to be a new oil. Is
SAE 5 oil with Teflon base. Is the same oil that has to go in the
inside and outside the cartridge. Why does it have to be the same? why
Although it is a sealed cartridge, it has a auto purge capacity. By
hydrodynamic, this rod here can create a film
internalize some oil if it were necessary, and if the cartridge was
working and having an excess of oil, by this ventilation hole could
eject it. This fantastic cartridge with this great performance that is going to
offer in our fork, not only goes to come in 2019 FOX products in
forward, but it is also updatable and we will be able to install it in all
Forks 36 and 40 of 2015 years in ahead.
We have in this case a fork 2018 with the old Fit RC2 cartridge a
which will fit perfectly this Grip 2 cartridge, and we're going to do the
update, and you will see how simple What is it. To begin dismantling the
old RC2 cartridge we must
remove the upper dials. We will remove our bounce dial protector
and then we will dismantle our dial
With the help of a 15-go socket millimeters we will remove the nut
and using our tool to unlock the cartridge, we will screw
approximately in half, we will hit
and we will let him expel all the oil. It is important that if the fork
needs maintenance, we remember that Maintenance must be done once a
year or every 125 hours of use, take advantage of to change oil and seals. With
our 32mm key
loosen to remove the cartridge.
It is important to use our keys 32 mm aluminum because the Top Cap
they are black and if we use a steel key could damage the
color of the cartridge. You see that you simply twist it
We are going to remove the old cartridge.
The next step will be to install our Grip cartridge 2. We have removed the
dials both upper and lower, and we will directly introduce it in
The fork. We already have the cartridge in the part
lower ... We put the nut with the new washer that is included in the
kit The installation of the dials will be as simple as matching the
flat area of our dial with the screw.
When placing them, press up
and press. We will have the regulation independent of the bounce in the high and
low speed on our dials. For protect them we will use the plug
supplied that will prevent stones from hitting and
damage our dials. In the part we have not screwed up yet
our cartridge in the head, before there is what to put the lubrication oil
inside the fork. We have already talked that is SAE 5 Teflon and is a
volume of 40 milliliters that we will apply with this syringe.
We will only need to compress the cartridge
and screw it. For tightening our Grip2 cartridge
We will not use the 32mm one. but one of 28mm.
the last step for the installation of Our Fit Grip 2 cartridge is the
installation of compression dials. At high speed ...
... and the low speed one.
In this simple way. We will press the central screw
and we will have it installed. This is the important moment to remind you that
to begin the regulation of doing the correct adjustment to the fork
we will have to close both the compression in high as compression in low and
from here, go opening click to click. At high speed we will have 16 clicks
available and at low speed 12. It is possible that by the configuration of
piston we can count some more click to from 16 on high and from 12
in down. They will not have any kind of action on the compression of the
fork. Thanks David, as always, a pleasure to have you here and hear your
explanations You do it all too much simple. And nothing more!
Did you joke or not joke? joke! Of course! Well let's see!
He says... Doctor, how was the delivery? And he says: well, although the child we had to
put oxygen! And he says: Wow! with the illusion that made me put Arturo, like my
father!
See you, in the next video! Thank you David! Thank you Jesus!
