Fox Shox 36 Float SL Performance Elite GRIP X Fork - 29"

Product Details

Construction & Measurements

Inboard Bypass Channels– Bypass channels help curb pressure ramping for increased small bump sensitivity, as well as recirculating bath oil to lubricate bushings and seals. By relocating the bypass channels from the aft side of the fork to the inboard side, they are now out of the fore-aft load path to further reduce dynamic friction throughout the fork’s travel.

Increased Bushing Overlap– The 36 SL increases the bushing overlap by 20mm over the 34 for a smoother feeling fork overall. Riders will notice additional suppleness at higher speeds when bending loads on the fork are at their greatest.

Redesigned Arch & Crown– Generatively designed and optimized by FOX engineers, the new 36 SL arch and crown increase torsional stiffness of the fork by a full 20% over the previous Trail fork, the 34. Cutouts and lightening bores at strategic locations help minimize weight.

1.5" Tapered Aluminum Steerer

Features

Redesigned Air Spring– A large enough bending force—such as hitting a large rock or root at high speed—can cause the air spring to bind to the inside of the stanchion when the fork is compressing through its travel. The redesigned and compliant FLOAT air spring decouples the stanchion from the air shaft, allowing the piston to move with the fork while under these bending loads, rather than resisting them. The result? Smoother suspension action overall, especially when the fork is experiencing high loads from speed or weight of a rider.

Kabolt SL Axle– The Kabolt SL axle drops an additional 12g over the standard Kabolt by eliminating the axle nut and decreasing flange diameter.

Low Profile Bleeders– Grooved design allows pressure to escape around your finger as you press the bleeder.

Air Spring Top Cap– Uses the common Shimano cassette tool for easy volume adjustments.

Rotor Size– 180 Direct Post Mount, Up to 230 Compatible

Adjustments

GRIP X Damper– Trail and all-mountain riders no longer need to choose between a descent-focused damper or a lightweight endurance damper. GRIP X exudes exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and an easy access firm mode for pedaling efficiency.

Fork Adjustments– Rebound, High / Low Speed Compression, Firm Mode
