Short Travel. Hard Hitting. All Trail. For riders who demand a stiff, responsive fork without unnecessary weight, the 36 SL brings big-fork confidence to modern Trail bikes. At just 1755g (29†140mm GRIP X), the 36 SL offers 20% greater torsional stiffness than the 34 while expanding your trail bike's capabilities. The lightest 36 ever, the sub-1800g 36 SL injects plushness and steering responsiveness into a true Trail fork. An evolution of the 36 chassis optimized for 120 to 140mm of travel, the 36 SL gives modern Trail riders the confidence to go big without the weight. WHY CHOOSE? Trail riders have long had to choose between over-forking for stiffness or under-forking for lower weight. The 36 SL supplants the 34 with 20% additional torsional stiffness while the updated chassis minimize the weight increase to just 100 grams. At 1755g (29†140mm GRIP X) with a host of ride feel improvements, the 36 SL easily beats out its predecessor, and the competition. Grip X Updated for 2027, Trail and All-Mountain riders no longer need to choose between descent-focused dampers or lightweight XC dampers. Exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and a firm mode for pedaling efficiency. GLIDECORE AIR SPRING The seamlessly compliant FLOAT Glidecore air spring reduces friction by moving with the fork under dynamic load. Large cross-section O-rings dampen and control this motion while also reducing breakaway friction of the air spring. The result? Smoother suspension action. ARCH ABOVE THE REST Generatively designed and optimized by FOX engineers, the 36 SL arch design wraps around the lowers to contribute to a torsional stiffness gain of 20% over the previous Trail fork, the 34. Cutouts at strategic locations help minimize weight.  TECH SPECS SERIES Performance Elite CHASSIS SL DAMPER GRIP X AXLE Kabolt SL 110 STEERER 1.5 Tapered UPPER TUBE FINISH Black Anodized AIR CHANNELS Yes BLEEDERS Yes FLOATING AXLE No ROTOR SIZE 180 direct Post Mount, Up to 203 compatible MUD GUARD MOUNT Optional FOX 36/38 Mud Guard with sturdy 4-point direct-mount attachment AIR SPRING FLOAT EVOL STARTING WEIGHT 1755g (36SL, 29, F-S, Grip X, Kabolt SL)
