Fox 34 SL Float Performance GRIP SL Tapered Fork 29" 120mm 15QR110 44mm

The Fox 34 SL Float Performance GRIP SL Tapered Fork is engineered for riders who demand top-tier performance in XC and Downcountry terrains. Combining a robust 34mm chassis with up to 130mm of travel, this fork offers unmatched stiffness, responsiveness, and minimal weight gain, making it ideal for technical World Cup courses and challenging trail rides. Its design integrates cutting-edge technology to enhance control and comfort, ensuring a smooth ride even on the roughest paths.

Built with precision, the 34 SL incorporates a full 34 chassis alongside a larger volume air spring, giving riders the flexibility to choose travel up to 130mm without compromising weight. This fork’s redesigned arch and crown provide a 17% increase in torsional stiffness compared to its predecessor, while strategic cut-outs help reduce weight. Additionally, the increased bushing overlap ensures smoother performance by minimizing friction throughout the suspension stroke, especially under high-speed impacts.

The GRIP SL damper is specially crafted for short travel applications, optimizing pedal efficiency and bump absorption to keep endurance racers and weekend riders alike climbing faster, descending harder, and recovering quicker. With a starting weight of just 1475g, the 34 SL stands out as one of the lightest options in its class, delivering a perfect balance between weight savings and robust capability for modern XC and Downcountry enthusiasts.

What It’s Good For

• Providing exceptional stiffness and control on technical XC and Downcountry trails
• Offering adjustable travel up to 130mm for versatile performance
• Enhancing ride smoothness through increased bushing overlap and reduced friction
• Optimizing pedal-to-bump efficiency with the GRIP SL damper for endurance racing
