FOX Racing Shox 36 Float 29in Performance Elite Grip X Fork - 2024

Why We Like The Fox 36 Float 29in Performance Elite Grip X Fork

Premium performance for aggressive trail and enduro riding is here: the Fox 36 is back, and this time with upgraded internals. Featuring 36mm stanchions, the same lightweight chassis, a revised crown and arch, and new damper tech, the Fox 36 Float 29in Performance Elite Grip X Fork is our go-to for all-mountain capability. This version of the 36 features Fox´s Performance Elite series build and is nearly identical to the Factory series forks, just without the gold Kashima coat on the stanchions. The new Grip X damper offers unparalleled trail and enduro performance with many of the same adjustments as the old Grip2 damper, except for a firm compression setting at the end of the high-speed compression range for enhanced climbing capability. Also, a singular rebound adjustment instead of the dual, high/low adjustment takes over the Grip X damper, giving us a simpler setup. The Grip X is around 100 grams lighter than the old model Grip2 damper, bringing us much of the same capability but with a lighter weight and better climbing ability.
