GRIP X damper

The trail-focused GRIP X damper was revised to approach the ride feel of GRIP X2 with 120g less weight, and it runs quieter. It gives 15 clicks of high-speed compression, 16 of low-speed compression and 17 of low-speed rebound, with a firm mode for efficient pedalling. The FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring moves with the fork under dynamic load, cutting friction and bind for smoother suspension action and less fatigue in your hands and arms.

36 chassis

The latest 36 brings big-fork energy to trail and all-mountain riding, with more steering precision and smoother travel for an enduro feel without the extra weight. Its generatively designed arch wraps around the lowers to raise torsional stiffness by 20% over the previous 36, and the fork has air channels, bleeders and a 4-point direct mount for Fox's optional 36/38 mud guard.

Fitting and Fox service

Fork installation is a separate workshop service and isn't included. As an authorised Fox service centre, our Marrickville workshop can fit the fork to your bike (steerer cut, crown race and star nut), set sag and damping for your weight and riding, and look after its scheduled Fox servicing from there.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 29in wheels, a 1.5in tapered head tube and a 15 x 110mm Boost front hub (Kabolt-X thru-axle), with 200mm post mount brakes (up to 230mm rotors with the right adapter). Fox rates the 36 for EN 17406 category 4 use with a maximum system weight of 140kg, and lists it as compatible with Class 1 and L1e-A e-bikes. Check your frame's allowable fork travel before you order.
