Description
The lightest 36 ever, the sub-1800g 36 SL redefines what a true Trail fork can be, injecting plush suspension feel and razor-sharp steering responsiveness into a remarkably lightweight package. Designed for riders who want to climb efficiently without compromising descending capability, the 36 SL delivers big-trail confidence in a streamlined chassis.
This fork is optimised for reduced weight while maintaining the strength and precision riders expect from the 36 platform. With 140mm of travel, it strikes the perfect balance for modern Trail riding, capable on technical descents while staying agile and efficient on climbs. Air channels and bleed valves keep performance consistent by managing internal pressure, while the black anodised upper tubes provide smooth, durable suspension action.
At its core is the updated GRIP X damper, tuned to approach the ride feel of GRIP X2 while offering the best performance per gram in its class. Paired with the FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring, the fork delivers a supple initial stroke with supportive mid-stroke characteristics, ensuring traction and control across varied terrain.
Built for 29” wheels, the 36 SL Performance Elite gives modern Trail riders the confidence to push limits, go bigger, and ride harder, without the weight holding them back.
GRIP X Damper Efficiency
The GRIP X damper is optimised for Trail performance, delivering a refined balance of sensitivity, support, and efficiency. With adjustable high- and low-speed compression alongside low-speed rebound (HSC, LSC, LSR), it offers precise tuning for changing trail conditions, bringing a GRIP X2-inspired ride feel to a lighter, more efficient platform.
