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

Push harder on the trail with the 36 SL Float 29in Fork—lightweight support with GRIP X control

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"If you’re after Factory-level performance without the Kashima bling, this fork is it. I love the feel of the GRIP X damper—it’s intuitive to tune, and it tracks great through mid-size hits and hard cornering. It´s my go-to for trail bikes where weight still matters."

We count on the FOX 36 SL Float 29in Performance Elite GRIP X Fork when we want to strike the ideal balance between all-day efficiency and aggressive trail riding. With the same internals as the Factory-level fork, this Performance Elite version swaps Kashima for stealthy black stanchions—no compromise in function, just a different finish.

At the core is the FLOAT EVOL air spring and FOX’s lightweight SL chassis, paired with the GRIP X damper offering high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and rebound adjust. The SL lowers keep weight down, while magnesium construction and internal bypass channels ensure the fork stays smooth and supportive under pressure. For 140mm trail bikes and riders who know exactly how they want their suspension to feel, this fork is the real deal.
