The latest evolution of the revered 36 brings big fork energy to All-Mountain riding. Blending greater steering stiffness with smoother, more controlled travel, it delivers a confident, Enduro-inspired ride feel, without the weight penalty. Designed for riders who demand precision on technical descents and efficiency on the climb, this e-Optimized chassis is built to handle the increased forces of modern trail and eMTB riding. Refined to strike the perfect balance between strength and responsiveness, the 36 maintains sharp tracking through rough terrain while reducing rider fatigue over long days in the saddle. Thoughtful features like integrated air channels and bleed valves ensure consistent performance by managing pressure build-up, while the Kashima-coated upper tubes provide ultra-smooth, durable suspension action. GRIP X2 Damper - Equipped with the GRIP X2 damper, the 36 offers independent high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustment (HSC, LSC, HSR, LSR). This allows for precise tuning across a wide range of trail conditions, from fast, rough descents to technical, slow-speed features, delivering consistent damping and exceptional traction throughout. GRIP X Damper - The GRIP X damper is tuned for Trail and All-Mountain performance, offering a refined balance of sensitivity, support, and efficiency. With adjustable high- and low-speed compression alongside low-speed rebound (HSC, LSC, LSR), it provides versatile tuning for a wide range of terrain—delivering a ride feel that closely mirrors the performance of GRIP X2 in a lighter package.
