Product Description
Having proven itself at the highest level, especially with Richie Rude, double EWS winner, the Fox Racing Shox 36 Float Performance Elite fork with Kabolt-X axle will delight MTB specialists looking for rigidity and high-level performance for the AllMountain engaged. It offers the latest technological advances of the brand by combining the Float Evol Glidecore air spring ensuring an ultra-smooth action thanks to large section O-rings, it accompanies the dynamic movements of the fork, reduces friction and improves responsiveness on all terrains - and the GRIP X cartridge (replaces the Fit4) which offers exceptional performance both uphill and downhill, with a reduced weight (120g less compared to grip X2), a simplified setup and an easily accessible firm mode (Firm Mode) to optimize pedaling efficiency. It is accompanied by a floating through axis for precision steering and perfect alignment. The 36 is equipped with Bleeders technology, purge valves to optimize the progressivity of the fork and Channels ducts to facilitate hydraulic flow and air volume. In addition, the modified arch allows for superior rigidity while offering great lightness. Finally, the generative design of the arch optimizes torsional stiffness, with a 20% gain compared to FOX 34. All without weighing the fork, thanks to strategic cuts.Features : Top tube finish: Black anodized.Air channels: Yes.Purgators: Yes.Floating axis: Yes (Kabolt X).Rotor size: 180 direct post mount, up to 230 compatible.Mudguard mounting: FOX 36/38 mudguard optional with 4-point direct attachment.Air spring: Float Evol GuideCorePivot: 1''1/8-1.5'Starting weight: 1920gLightweight floating bolt-on axle, the Kabolt X reduces grams while increasing torsional stiffness through a one-sided pinch and sleeve-free bolt design. Chassis alignment reduces unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs, resulting in much smoother suspension movements over the entire travel range. The 36 is also available with a tool-free lever floating axle.GRIP X cartridge :Trail and all-mountain riders no longer need to choose between a downhill-focused shock absorber and a lightweight endurance shock absorber. The GRIP X offers exemplary performance downhill, with reduced weight, easier adjustment and easy-to-access firm mode for improved pedaling efficiency.Settings : High-speed compression (with VVC): 15 clicksLow speed compression: 16 clicksLow speed bounce: 17 clicks
