Fox 36 Float 27.5 Performance Elite 2023 Grip2 160mm Black

Optimised for aggressive trail riding, the all new 2023 36 features a new chassis and updated dampers.  The biggest change in the chassis is with the lower legs which now feature specific air and oil channels, a floating axle and the same bleed valves found on the World Cup downhill winning 40 to ensure consistent performance run after run. The exceptionally strong 36 continues to be wildly popular among aggressive trail riders and enduro racers.

With the new 36, Fox wanted to increase the smoothness, stiffness and tune-ability of their market leading fork.  On the smoothness front, and all new chassis has three key features.  The new floating axle design allows for precise alignment of the hub and the upper and lower fork legs, ensuring the smoothest tracking of terrain.  New channels in the back of the lower legs increase the air volume in the lowers to reduce the amount of unintended pressure ramping, as well as allow more oil flow to the dust wiper foam rings and bushings.  Finally the bleed valves here allow for atmospheric pressure equalisation and release of pressure build up from long, rough runs, improving small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.

Performance Elite series forks are an all black alternative to the Factory 'Kashima' version. They feature the same factory level GRIP2 VVC damper and air EVOL spring, and are a slightly more cost effective model due to the black coating vs Kashima (Gold). The Kashima coating on the stanchion's as seen in the Factory level forks is the top of the range, and the lowest friction offering from Fox.
