FOX 36 SL Factory Grip X 29" suspension fork
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. For riders who demand a stiff and responsive fork without the unnecessary weight, the 36 SL brings the confidence of a big fork to modern trail bikes. Weighing just 1,755g (29" 140mm GRIP X), the 36 SL offers 20% more torsional stiffness than the 34 while expanding the capabilities of your trail bike.
Key innovations:
• Optimized for trail riding - The 36 SL is designed for 120-140mm of travel and provides the perfect combination of stiffness, compliance and low weight.
• Arch above the rest - Generatively optimized crown and arch provide 20% more torsional stiffness compared to the previous Trail-class fork, the 34 model.
• FLOAT Glidecore Compliant Air Spring - The Glidecore air spring decouples the post from the air shaft to maintain a smooth ride even under bending loads caused by speed or rider weight.
• Extended bushing overlap - 20mm additional bushing overlap over the 34 model provides reduced friction and a better cushioning feel.
• GRIP X Damping - Combines excellent downhill performance with an easily accessible firm mode for pedaling efficiency.
• Internal Bypass Channels - Strategically positioned to reduce friction and optimize cushioning feel.
• 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 chamber volume adjustment.
• Improved fender mount - Mounted on the arch and sealing flanges instead of drain holes for better durability and aesthetics.
