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

Trail precision meets plush control in the Float 36 29in Performance Elite Grip X Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This fork nails that sweet spot—it´s as stiff and smooth as the Factory version but without the Kashima price tag. I love the GRIP X damper. It’s simple to dial, super consistent, and confidence-inspiring when the trail points down."

The Float 36 29in Performance Elite Grip X Fork is built for riders who charge hard but still want efficient pedaling and intuitive tuning. It shares the same chassis and air spring as FOX’s top-tier Factory model, swapping the gold finish for stealthy black stanchions without compromising performance.

This fork brings even more stiffness and smoothness to the trail. A redesigned arch increases torsional rigidity by 20%, while extended bushing overlap improves tracking and responsiveness under load. The FLOAT EVOL air spring, now enhanced with Glidecore technology, reduces internal friction and boosts small-bump sensitivity. The GRIP X damper offers high- and low-speed compression, rebound, and an easy-to-engage firm mode—making it ideal for everything from big descents to long climbs.
