FOX 36 Factory Grip X2 29" suspension fork, 160 mm
Since its debut in 2005, the FOX 36 fork has set the standard for single-crown forks, delivering best-in-class performance with an unmatched stiffness-to-weight ratio. In its latest evolution, the 36 further raises the bar for All-Mountain dominance, while the all-new 36 SL delivers lightweight performance for aggressive Trail riders. With a redesigned shape, more bushing overlap, and new innovative compatible FLOAT Glidecore air springs, both forks push the boundaries of stiffness, smoothness, and responsiveness in their categories. All-mountain bike riders are using their bikes harder than ever before, thanks to advances in frame construction, components, and tire technology. With the new 36 model, we set out to increase the performance of these boundary-pushing bikes and deliver a fork that not only meets, but exceeds, the demands of modern riders. The new 36 combines the confidence-inspiring feel of the 38 Enduro with a category-optimized construction that's light, responsive and playful. Riders looking for uncompromising stiffness, precise handling and a remarkably smooth ride need look no further. The FOX 36 fork continues its reign as the pinnacle of All-Mountain riding - stiffer, smoother and better than ever.
Key innovations:
• New design - 20% more torsional rigidity than the previous model, approaching the steering precision of the FOX 38 model.
• Arch Optimization - Generatively designed new arch 36 increases torsional rigidity, while strategic cutouts minimize weight and enhance aesthetics.
• Ultra-low friction FLOAT Glidecore air spring - All-new design with a floating air spring core that separates the strut from the air shaft to maintain a smooth ride even under bending loads caused by speed or rider weight.
• Increased bushing overlap - 30mm of additional bushing overlap significantly reduces friction, providing a smoother feel, especially on rough terrain.
• GRIP X2 damping - more traction, more control, more speed. The advanced 4-way tunable GRIP X2 shock provides increased adjustability while maintaining minimal interference between settings.
• Internal Bypass Channels - These channels, moved from the rear to the inner side, increase sensitivity to small bumps, reduce pressure build-up and improve overall suspension response.
• Low-profile bleed valves - Redesigned with a grooved structure for easier pressure equalization.
• Air Spring Top Cap - Now compatible with Shimano's standard cassette tool for easy adjustment of volume spacers. • Improved Fender Mount - Mounted to the arch and seal flanges instead of bleed valves for improved durability and aesthetics.
