By adding an additional 30mm of bushing overlap over the previous 36 chassis friction is reduced significantly for a smoother-feeling fork overall as well as adding fore-aft stiffness for a more stable-feeling at higher speed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGRIP X2 — GREATER TRACTION.
