MY27 36 Performance-Elite 29" Fork - Grip X

The Fox MY27 36 Performance-Elite 29" Fork - Grip X is a stiff, modern 29er mountain bike suspension fork built around the GRIP X damper and an updated chassis that targets lower friction, better small-bump traction, and more consistent support when speeds rise. With external damping adjustments and pressure-management details that matter on long descents, it suits riders who want a Fox 36-level fork for aggressive trail and enduro-style terrain without stepping into a full factory-tier price bracket.

What makes it a smart upgrade

• GRIP X damper with wider external control - Retuned damper with high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and low-speed rebound adjustments to dial in support for steep braking zones, repeated hits, and rider-weight differences
• Lower-friction chassis updates - Generative-designed lower legs increase bushing overlap, while bypass channels relocated 90° inboard help reduce friction for improved sensitivity and more consistent travel use
• EVOL air spring for usable support - Enlarged negative air spring helps smooth breakaway and maintain better mid-stroke support for cornering load and compressions
• Bleeders for pressure equalization - Integrated bleed valves allow atmospheric pressure equalization, helping maintain small-bump sensitivity and more consistent feel through the full travel on long, elevation-changing rides
• Performance Series stanchion finish - Black anodized stanchion coating paired with a double-butted damper-side stanchion to trim weight where it counts without changing the 36’s ride intent
• Modern wheel/tire and brake interface - Kabolt X floating thru-axle, post mount brake compatibility for 180–230mm rotors, and clearance for up to a 2.6" tire

An integrated 4-point mud guard mount attaches to the seal flanges (guard sold separately), keeping protection secure without relying on the bleeder ports.
