Fox 36 Float Factory Grip X Tapered 29" MTB Forks with GRIP X Damper

The Fox 36 Float Factory Grip X Tapered Forks are engineered to elevate your all-mountain and enduro riding experience with unmatched precision and durability. Featuring a redesigned crown that enhances steerer tube overlap, these forks deliver improved stiffness and increased longevity while shedding 20 grams for a lighter setup. The innovative Kabolt axle design further boosts torsional stiffness with a sleek, single-sided pinch bolt, ensuring your ride remains stable and responsive on the roughest terrains.

With advanced features like the lower leg bypass channels, the forks offer a smoother travel experience by balancing air volume and lubricating internal components continuously. Additional bleed valves equalize atmospheric pressure, enhancing small bump sensitivity and allowing the full travel of 150 to 160mm to be realized. Finished with genuine Kashima Coat on the upper legs and available in striking Gloss Orange and Gloss Black, the Fox 36 Float Factory combines both aesthetics and performance seamlessly.

The new GRIP X damper technology is a standout feature, giving you effortless control over compression settings. When climbing, engage the firm mode with a simple twist to lock in high-speed compression for efficient power transfer. Descend with confidence by dialing back to your preferred setting, allowing maximum traction and smoothness. This fork is 120g lighter than its predecessor, maintaining excellent traction and predictability while providing 3-way adjustability for rebound and both high and low-speed compression, ensuring easy tuning for any trail condition.
