Fox Suspension 36 Float SL 140 Factory 29 Kabolt 110

Available with with GripX or GripX2

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.

Built around the SL chassis, 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.

Purpose-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.

Option 1 - GRIP X Damper Efficiency Rundown

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.

Option 2 - GRIP X2 Damper Control

At its core is the gravity-ready GRIP X2 damper, updated for maximum control on steep, fast, and technical terrain. With unmatched adjustability and damping consistency, it pairs seamlessly with the FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring to deliver a supple initial stroke, supportive mid-stroke, and controlled end-stroke performance.

Purpose-built for 29” wheels, the 36 SL Factory gives modern Trail riders the confidence to ride bigger lines, tackle tougher descents, and maintain efficiency—without the weight holding them back.

GRIP X2 Damper Control

The GRIP X2 damper delivers elite-level tuning with independent high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustment (HSC, LSC, HSR, LSR). Designed for demanding terrain, it provides exceptional sensitivity, support, and consistency—keeping the fork composed through steep, rough, and technical trails.
