New Fox 36 and 36 SL Are Available At Jenson USA. Here Is What's New
Fox recently released a new 34 fork and today it's the new 36 and 36 SL. That new 36 SL looks like the perfect fork for bigger dudes like myself for shorter travel trail bikes, or for someone like Hugo Frixtalon that can push modern short travel trail bikes harder than the rest of us. And the 36 looks to have some nice improvements, like less weight and less binding due to side loading. The SL comes in shorter travel sizes from 120 to 140mm travel and the 36 is your standard longer travel 36 fork from 150mm-160mm travel. Both forks can be purchased at Jenson USA.
“I want a super engaged and ‘reactive’ short travel bike and the 36 SL is perfect for this. The stiffness and support gives you a lot of confidence at high speed.” — Hugo Frixtalon, World Cup racer, Red Bull Hardline competitor
Fox 36 SL
The lightest 36 ever, the sub-1800g 36 SL injects plushness and steering responsiveness into a true Trail fork. An evolution of the 36 chassis in 120 to 140mm of travel, the 36 SL gives modern Trail riders the confidence to go big without the weight.
Grip X
Trail and All-Mountain riders no longer need to choose between descent-focused dampers or lightweight XC dampers. Exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and a firm mode for pedaling efficiency. Learn more about the new GRIP family
GLIDECORE AIR SPRING
The seamlessly compliant FLOAT Glidecore air spring reduces friction by moving with the fork under dynamic load. Large cross-section O-rings dampen and control this motion while also reducing breakaway friction of the air spring. The result? Smoother suspension action.
ARCH ABOVE THE REST
Generatively designed and optimized by FOX engineers, the 36 SL arch design wraps around the lowers to contribute to a torsional stiffness gain of 20% over the previous Trail fork, the 34. Cutouts at strategic locations help minimize weight.
Fox 36
“You can ride it hard. The 36 is the fork I want when training on my aggressive local trails.” — Gracey Hemstreet, World Cup racer, Red Bull Hardline winner
THE APEX OF ALL-MOUNTAIN
The latest evolution of the revered 36 brings big fork energy to All-Mountain riding. Greater steering stiffness and smoother travel give the 36 an Enduro feel, without the weight. Available in both Trail-focused GRIP X and Gravity-focused GRIP X2 damper options.
Grip X2
The most tunable, supportive and smoothest descent-focused damper ever created by FOX. Sit higher in the travel, keep tires glued to the ground and corner with increased traction, all while reducing overall rider fatigue. Learn more about the new GRIP family here.
MORE CONTROL. LESS FATIGUE.
Drawing on 50 years of suspension innovation, FOX has engineered three new dampers from the ground up that represent the pinnacle of suspension performance. The GRIP X2 for ultimate descending performance. The GRIP X for uncompromised All-Mountain traction. The GRIP SL, the lightest XC damper with an unparalleled ride feel.
SMOOTH UNDER LOAD
The seamlessly compliant FLOAT Glidecore air spring reduces friction by moving with the fork under dynamic load. Large cross-section O-rings dampen and control this motion while also reducing breakaway friction of the air spring. The result? Smoother suspension action.
