Big Fork Performance. Trail Bike Weight.
The Fox 36 Float SL Factory is the ultimate short-travel trail fork built for aggressive riders who demand the best of both worlds—unmatched stiffness without a weight penalty. Ideal for modern downcountry and trail bikes, the 36 SL balances cutting-edge engineering with lightweight performance, delivering precision control on descents and efficiency on the climbs.
With the GRIP X damper at its core, the 36 SL offers buttery smooth action with refined compression and rebound damping, plus an easy-access firm mode for those long pedal-heavy sections. The Kashima-coated stanchions and newly optimized air spring ensure silky responsiveness and maximum durability, while the updated chassis shaves grams and boosts torsional stiffness by 20% over the 34.
KEY FEATURES
• GRIP X Damper: Trail-tuned for premium descending control, lighter overall weight, and easy setup with an accessible firm pedaling mode.
• Kashima Coating: Premium gold finish enhances durability and reduces friction for smoother, longer-lasting performance.
• Optimized 36 SL Chassis: 20% stiffer than the 34, with weight-saving cuts to support aggressive riding without over-forking.
• Refined Air Spring: Updated internals reduce friction and improve sensitivity for small bumps and big hits alike.
• Lightweight Details: Includes double-butted damper-side stanchions, redesigned low-profile bleeders, and inboard Bypass Channels for better performance and bushing support.
