36 SL Factory Suspension Fork - 29", 44mm Offset, GRIP X2, Float Glidecore

The Fox 36 SL Factory Suspension Fork is a high-end 29er mountain bike fork built for riders who want enduro-level composure and steering accuracy without jumping to a heavier chassis. With a 44mm offset, a highly tunable GRIP X2 damper, and the friction-reducing FLOAT Glidecore air spring, it targets faster control on technical trail and all-mountain terrain where small-bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support both matter.

Performance details that separate it from lighter trail forks

1. 4-way adjustable GRIP X2 damper - High/low-speed compression and rebound adjustments let riders dial support for steep, braking-heavy descents while keeping traction on repeated impacts.
2. FLOAT Glidecore air spring - A compliant spring interface moves with the fork under load to reduce bind and dynamic friction for smoother action through the travel.
3. Kashima-coated upper tubes (Factory Series) - Reduces friction for more consistent sensitivity and helps maintain a smooth feel over long, rough descents.
4. Generatively designed arch and crown - Increases torsional stiffness by 20% over the 34 for more precise tracking when pushing a 29" front wheel through off-camber roots, high-speed corners, and rock impacts.
5. Lower Leg Bypass Channels relocated 90° inboard - Improves bushing loading and reduces dynamic friction, helping the fork stay active under braking and during hard compressions.
6. Service-friendly adjustability - A cassette-tool-compatible air spring top cap simplifies volume adjustments, while low-profile bleeders make it easy to relieve pressure buildup for consistent performance.
