FOX 36 Factory GRIP X2 Tapered Fork 2027

Description

Precision-tuned for control, built for all-mountain dominance

This revered 36 brings big fork energy to All-Mountain riding, delivering greater steering stiffness and smoother travel for an Enduro-inspired feel—without the added weight. Designed for riders who demand versatility and precision, this fork blends lightweight efficiency with gravity-ready capability, making it equally at home on technical climbs and aggressive descents.

Refined with an e-Optimized chassis, the 36 enhances front-end accuracy and tracking while maintaining a responsive, controlled ride feel. Its updated stiffness profile inspires confidence at speed, while improved small-bump sensitivity keeps the ride smooth and composed across rough terrain.

At its core is the gravity-focused GRIP X2 damper, offering high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound adjustments (HSC, LSC, HSR, LSR) for exceptional tunability. Paired with the FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring, the fork delivers a supple initial stroke with supportive mid-stroke performance, ensuring traction and control throughout its 160mm of travel.

Finished with the premium Kashima coating for durability and reduced friction, and equipped with rider-focused features like bleed valves and optional mud guard compatibility, the 36 is built to perform in demanding conditions. With a 29” wheel platform and modern geometry, it strikes the perfect balance between stiffness, sensitivity, and adaptability for aggressive All-Mountain riding.
