Crush steep tech lines with the Float 36 27.5in Factory Grip X Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This version of the 36 paired with 27.5 wheels gives me that super nimble, playful feel while still soaking up big hits. I love how the Grip X damper balances traction and support—especially on steep descents or mid-sized drops."

For trail bikes that punch above their weight, the Float 36 27.5in Factory Grip X Fork is the ultimate upgrade. Whether you´re charging tech lines or railing loamers at speed, this fork delivers enduro-level composure with a trail-focused damper that saves grams and simplifies setup.

FOX’s FLOAT Glidecore air spring enhances small bump compliance by dynamically aligning under load, giving it a smoother, more consistent stroke. Combined with a re-engineered chassis and updated arch design, it delivers a 20% boost in torsional stiffness over the previous model—meaning more precision and less flex when cornering hard. The GRIP X damper gives you HSC/LSC/LSR adjustability and an easy-to-engage firm mode for fire road transitions or punchy climbs.
