==History== From the [[Fox Factory | Fox]] website:<blockquote>The FOX GRIP cartridge project scope was originally to make a low-cost mountain bike fork damper. Suspension engineer [[Damon Gilbert]] came to FOX in 2013 with plenty of suspension experience, and created our best performing, lowest friction, and most durable damper. Gilbert based his design on off-road motorcycle forks developed in the `90s, forks still being refined and used on high-performance motorcycles. Itโs been proven to be durable, easy to work on and highly tunable, so why not apply it to mountain bikes?<br><br> The release of the FOX GRIP damper for MY2017 was relatively quiet since low-cost alternatives donโt excite the market very much. As more riders tried the FOX GRIP forks, though, people began to realize it performed better than the premium Factory Series forks. The GRIP damper was soon applied to the FOX Factory Series products.<ref>https://ridefox.com/blogs/stories/history-of-the-grip-damper</ref></blockquote>
