Fox Suspension 36 Float E-Optimized 160 Factory 29 Kabolt X 110

The latest evolution of the FOX 36 brings big fork energy to Trail and All-Mountain riding, delivering the ideal balance of stiffness, control, and smooth suspension performance. With increased steering precision and a supple, composed ride feel, the 36 channels Enduro-level confidence—without the added weight. Built around an e-Optimized chassis, it’s ready to meet the demands of modern trail bikes and eMTBs alike.

Engineered for all-day capability, the updated chassis enhances front-end accuracy while maintaining compliance to reduce fatigue on longer rides. The result is confident handling through technical terrain, paired with smooth tracking across roots, rocks, and high-speed chatter. Air channels and bleed valves help regulate internal pressure for consistent performance, while Kashima-coated upper tubes ensure ultra-smooth action and long-term durability.

At the heart of the fork is the trail-focused GRIP X or GripX2 damper(Details Below), The Grip X has been refined to approach the ride feel of GRIP X2 while delivering exceptional performance per gram. Combined with the FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring, the fork offers a plush initial stroke with supportive mid-stroke characteristics, keeping riders in control across varied terrain.

Designed for 29” wheels with 160mm of travel, this Factory Series fork is built for riders who want lightweight efficiency without sacrificing control or confidence on demanding trails.

Updated GRIP X Damper

The GRIP X damper is tuned for Trail and All-Mountain performance, offering a refined balance of sensitivity, support, and efficiency. With adjustable high- and low-speed compression alongside low-speed rebound (HSC, LSC, LSR), it provides versatile tuning for a wide range of terrain—delivering a ride feel that closely mirrors the performance of GRIP X2 in a lighter package.
