Fox 34 SL Factory GRIP SL 29in XC Fork – 130mm, GRIP SL 3-Position, Shiny Orange
SKU code: RFX-FF91021364
Stiffer and more supple than a Step-Cast for minimal extra weight, the Fox 34 SL Factory is built for technical World Cup XC courses and fast downcountry riding.
Highlights
- 120mm or 130mm of travel on a 29in, 44mm offset chassis
- GRIP SL damper with an on-fork 3-position lever or a remote push-to-lock version
- 17% more torsional stiffness than the 34 Step-Cast
- Genuine Kashima Coat 34mm upper tubes and a FLOAT EVOL air spring with air channels
- Kabolt SL 15 x 110mm Boost thru-axle, 180mm post mount brakes
Full-width 34 chassis, XC weight
The 34 SL brings real XC capability to a full-width 34 chassis with up to 130mm of travel, built for the most technical World Cup XC courses and demanding downcountry riding. Its generatively designed arch wraps around the lowers to raise torsional stiffness by 17% over the 34 Step-Cast, and the externally machined 7000 series aluminium crown, with larger internal bores, shaves more weight.
GRIP SL damper
GRIP SL is Fox's light, short-travel damper. It gives a supple stroke with good pedal-to-bump efficiency and a smooth blow-off when you're riding locked out, with three on-the-fly compression positions and 17 clicks of low-speed rebound. The remote versions run Fox's push-to-lock remote; the lever itself is not included.
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
For 29in wheels with a 15 x 110mm Boost hub and a 1.5in tapered steerer. The crown suits 58mm head tubes only. Brakes are 180mm post mount direct, up to 203mm rotors with the right adapter. Maximum tyre size is 29 x 2.5in (Fox asks you to check clearance on anything wider than 2.4in with the fork fully compressed). Fox rates the 34 SL for EN 17406 category 4 use with a maximum system weight of 121kg, and lists it as compatible with Class 1 and L1e-A e-bikes.
