FOX 36 FLOAT Factory Grip2 29" suspension fork, 160 mm
All-Mountain specialist with 160mm lift! For the 2023 model year, FOX comes with the redesigned FOX 36 forks, which bring a host of new technologies as well as improvements to existing technologies. Among the hidden innovations is that the internal shape of the fork column is oval, which increases stiffness without much increase in weight. So far, only FOX 38 forks had this technology. The "Factory" label says it all. The best technology that FOX can offer is available in the Factory Series models, including our ultra-durable original Kashima Coat, which ensures a buttery performance of the fork.

TECHNOLOGIES:
GRIP 2 Damping : FOX has taken GRIP2 damping to the next level by adding patented VVC technology to the high-speed compression circuit. VVC is a patented variable valve control system that enables external fine-tuning of suspension performance. The GRIP2 accomplishes what would normally require the time-consuming and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork with the turn of a control wheel. Allows adjustment of high and low speed compression and high and low speed rebound.
Float: The lightweight FLOAT air suspension system automatically balances the positive and negative air chambers for increased responsiveness and traction regardless of air pressure setting. Riders can fine-tune the properties of the positive air spring with Volume Air inserts.
Bleeders: The forks have bleed valves in the back of the lower legs, which you can use to equalize the pressure in the fork legs with atmospheric pressure. The different pressure in the fork reduces the sensitivity of the suspension, so you can adjust it by simply pressing the valve with your finger. The pressure in the legs changes mainly at higher temperatures, e.g. during intensive use on long descents or at high altitudes.
Lower Leg Channels: New air-oil channels allow trapped air in the lower legs to pass through the sliding bushings. The second function of the channels is to allow oil from the lower legs to reach the top seals (buffers) and keep them freshly lubricated.
Floating Axle: A new system for the axle prevents the parallelism of the fork legs from being affected by the different width of the front hub. Perfect alignment reduces friction during suspension, which is thus more efficient and smoother. You can adjust the mechanism on the right leg of the fork exactly for your hub width, and when retracting the axle, compression of the legs is eliminated.
Lower Leg Arch: The bridge between the lower legs has a new rounded shape, which increased the stiffness of the fork and at the same time created more space between the bridge and the bike frame when the fork is fully compressed.
