FOX Racing Shox 36 Float 29in E-Optimized Factory Grip X2 Fork

Take powered descents further with the Float 36 29in Factory Grip X2 Fork EMTB

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I run the 36 e-Optimized with Grip X2 on my long-travel e-MTB and it´s a game-changer. It´s ultra-planted and buttery on the steeps, and that extra traction at speed makes a huge difference with the added weight of the bike."

When your e-MTB demands more from your front end, the Float 36 29in Factory Grip X2 Fork EMTB delivers. Designed specifically for the added torque, speed, and weight of electric-assist trail bikes, this updated chassis combines big-bike stiffness with precision damping control for aggressive lines and hard landings.

Inside, the FOX Glidecore-enhanced FLOAT EVOL spring adapts dynamically under load to reduce friction and improve traction, even when the fork is pushed deep into its travel. A redesigned arch structure increases torsional stiffness by 20%, while extended bushing overlap ensures smoother performance and less binding on off-camber compressions or heavy braking. The GRIP X2 damper is FOX’s most adjustable, descent-focused system, giving riders full control of high- and low-speed rebound and compression for truly gravity-tuned performance.

Add in a floating Kabolt-X axle, Kashima-coated stanchions, and compatibility with up to 230mm rotors, and the 36 EMTB is purpose-built for the bikes and riders who don’t back down from any terrain.
