Trail riders have long had to choose between over-forking for stiffness or under-forking for lower weight. The 36 SL Performance Elite suspension fork takes the new 36 chassis and saves weight at strategic locations, creating a no-compromise lightweight fork for today’s hard-hitting—yet shorter travel—Trail riders. GRIP X damper exudes exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and an easy access firm mode for pedaling efficiency New generatively designed arch and crown shaping increase torsional stiffness by 20% over 34 while minimizing weight increase New compliant air spring design reduces chassis friction New double-butted damper side stanchion sheds grams Lower Leg Bypass Channels relocated 90° inboard for improved bushing loading and reduced dynamic friction New easier to operate, low-profile bleeders Air spring top cap uses cassette tool for easy volume adjustments
