A trail fork not to be underestimated, the venerable 34 Performance Elite is more capable than ever before. With damping optimized for trail, the 34 excels at all-mountain descending while keeping the weight low. Trail riders no longer need to choose between a descent-focused damper or a lightweight endurance damper. The GRIP X damper exudes exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and an easy access firm mode for pedaling efficiency. GRIP X damper exudes exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and an easy access firm mode for pedaling efficiency The lower leg arch design pairs perfectly with modern trail bikes, where head tube profiles have grown larger and fork offsets shorter The 34’s arch juts forward to provide ample headtube clearance at full compression and the lower leg shape optimizes stiffness with the absolute minimal amount of material Lower leg bypass channel helps alleviate air pressure as the fork compresses by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and reducing unintended pressure ramping Lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating inner seals and bushings Fitted with the proven and reliable FLOAT EVOL air spring Black anodized upper tubes for added durability
