FOX Racing Shox 36 SL Float 29in Factory Grip X Fork

Power trail rides with the 36 SL Float 29in Fork—plush, precise, and race-light

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The 36 SL gives me the control I loved in the 36, but without the weight penalty. I run the 140mm version on my downcountry bike and it’s unreal—stiff enough to push hard on descents but light enough to pedal all day. GRIP X is the perfect trail damper."

For modern trail bikes that need control without compromise, the FOX 36 SL Float 29in Fork offers just that—responsiveness, stiffness, and lightweight precision in one sleek package. Designed for 120–140mm travel bikes, this is FOX’s lightest 36 ever, built for riders who want the confident feel of a big chassis without the weight penalty.

Inside the magnesium lowers, internal bypass channels reduce friction while increasing small-bump sensitivity. A redesigned FLOAT EVOL air spring stays composed even under aggressive side loads, while 20mm of added bushing overlap improves smoothness and stiffness. The GRIP X damper provides HSC, LSC, and rebound adjust with a firm mode for climbing efficiency, refined for the trail with weight savings over the X2.

Whether you’re sending descents or climbing big vert, the 36 SL is your tool for going further and faster—with less.
