Fox's 15QR thru-axle system drastically increases the fork's stiffness- to-weight ratio, is lighter than a 20mm thru-axle, and way stiffer than a standard dropout and quick release. Wheel installation and removal is tool- free, fast, and easy.

For the best suspension yet, Fox has brought Miyaki Company of Japan’s legendary Kashima Coat to its fork stanchions. You can recognize it by the unique gold color. This coating, which is four times harder than hard- anodized aluminum, made its name in car and motorcycle suspensions and drivetrains, and now you can enjoy all its amazing benefits. These include super low friction, excellent abrasion resistance and durability, and significantly better lubrication characteristics. In short, this fork is way more reactive, soaks up even tiny bumps and lasts longer with less maintenance, too.
