I’ve been swapping between Fox34 Grip2 and GripX dampers on a 120mm airspring. Going to GripX you need 10 psi more for the same sag and the spring curve is far more linear feeling. The Grip2 provided far more progression and ramp (2 volume spacers). GripX gobbles larger bumps more readily but feels a little less supported mid stroke (3 volume spacers). I’ve gone up in tokens with GripX to get a little more progression. Just swapping the damper alone there is a massive difference in the overall progression in the fork, feels a little more like a Rockshox Sid 35 but smoother.
