Description
Ultra-light. Trail precision perfected.
The lightest 36 ever, the sub-1800g 36 SL brings together plush suspension feel and razor-sharp steering responsiveness in a true Trail-focused package. Designed for riders who prioritize efficiency without sacrificing descending capability, it delivers a lively, confident ride that punches well above its weight.
This evolution of the 36 platform is optimized for 130–140mm of travel, making it ideal for modern Trail bikes. The lightweight design enhances climbing performance while maintaining the strength and precision needed for technical descents. Air channels and bleed valves help regulate internal pressure for consistent suspension feel, while the Genuine Kashima Coat ensures exceptionally smooth and durable performance.
At the heart of the fork is the updated GRIP X damper, refined to closely match the ride feel of GRIP X2 while delivering best-in-class performance per gram. Combined with the FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring, it provides a supple initial stroke with supportive mid-stroke characteristics, keeping traction high and rider fatigue low across demanding terrain.
Built for riders who want to go bigger, faster, and further on lightweight trail setups, the 36 SL Factory offers a perfect blend of efficiency, control, and confidence.
GRIP X Damper Efficiency
The GRIP X damper is tuned for Trail performance, balancing sensitivity, support, and lightweight efficiency. Designed to emulate the feel of GRIP X2 in a simpler, lighter package, it delivers consistent damping and confident control across a wide range of trail conditions.
