Make a good fork a great fork.

Introducing the Luftkappe air piston kit for Fox Float forks. The Luftkappe is available for:
34 Float NA2 (2016-17) Performance & Factory Series (130mm + only - 120mm and lower need the 2018 Evol air shaft before a Luftkappe can be fitted)
34 Float NA2 Evol (2018+) Performance & Factory Series
36 Float NA2 Evol (2018+) Performance & Factory Series
36 Float NA (2015-17) Performance & Factory Series (max 180mm travel, min 120mm travel)

Installation tools also available
See bottom of page for full compatibility & incompatibility details.

Pinkbike:
"The Luftkappe's change to the feel of the Lyrik was immediately noticeable on the trail. Traction was increased across chatter and the fork remained higher in its travel and more stable, improving the dynamic ride height without sacrificing the top end. My confidence soared when hitting sections with a lot of chatter and mid to large-sized hits, and the result meant more comfort and speed through such sections."

Taking everything we learned with the Corset air sleeves and the Luftkappe we developed for the Pike, Yari & Lyrik, this second generation Luftkappe is a new air piston assembly for Fox's 34 NA2/Evol and 36 Evol forks. User installable and simple to set up, the Luftkappe transforms a good fork into a great fork.

INSTALLATION MANUAL 

Who it is for

• Riders who want improved support, compliance, grip and control from their Fit4-damped fork, without harshness or the blowing-through feel
• Riders who prioritise HSC adjustment and usable compression damping over lockouts and platform systems
• Riders serious about performance

"I just wanted to follow up and let you know the Luftkappe and Fractive tune on the fork are incredible. I have 3 rides on it now and have the settings almost all dialed. Things I’m noticing so far:

1. The fork smooths out the small chatter making it much easier on my hands and wrists
2. Large hits are very controlled and it has a much more bottomless feel
3. The control it gives me going through chunky corners is scary good. I’ve always liked the feel of the rear suspension on the bike, but it can’t keep up to the fork now in these situations.

I’m a very happy customer! Thanks for the awesome service."

Incompatible Forks

• Any remote-lockout or remote-adjust forks. These are not compatible.
• Any StepCast forks (32 or 34)
• 32, 34 or 36 Performance Series (P-S) forks with only the 3-position adjuster (no black low speed compression dial).
• Any Fit Grip forks
• Any RC2-damped forks (36 or 40) with high and low speed compression dials
• Any Rhythm forks

The No-BS Limitations

• If you want a lockout or a "pedal mode", this is not for you. The mode selector now becomes a high speed compression (HSC) adjuster and does NOT make a perceptible difference at low speed (ie bouncing on the fork) as its effect is very much separated from the LSC adjuster. It does however make a substantial difference at high speeds. If that would bother you, keep your stock damper.
• Self-install on these is not simple. Please read the installation manual before ordering a kit for self-install and ensure you are capable and comfortable carrying this out.
• We do not sell tools for self-install of these parts at this time - Fox does however.
• This kit cannot address air spring concerns. Our Luftkappe upgrades however can help with that.
• Our valving recommendations are based on our testing, and are aimed at centering you in the adjustment range. The range of adjustment is quite wide, and you will still need to spend some time finding the setup you like best.
• This will not turn your 100mm travel XC race bike into a 200mm DH bike. Sorry.
