An evolution of the 36 chassis optimised for 130 to 140mm of travel, the 36 SL gives modern Trail riders the confidence to go big without the weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY CHOOSE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTrail 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 minimise 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eARCH ABOVE THE REST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGeneratively designed and optimised by FOX engineers, the new 36 SL arch and crown increase torsional stiffness of the fork by a full 20% over the previous Trail fork, the 34.

The redesigned and compliant FLOAT air spring decouples the stanchion from the air shaft, allowing the piston to move with the fork while under these bending loads, rather than resisting them. The result? Smoother suspension action overall, especially when the fork is experiencing high loads from speed or weight of a rider.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMORE BUSHING OVERLAP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs the fork is loaded sideways (such as running over an obstacle on the trail), that bending force is translated from the lower leg to the stanchions through Teflon-lined sleeves called bushings. “Bushing overlap” refers to the distance between upper and lower bushings in each leg. In suspension forks, this greater overlap reduces friction between the stanchions and lower legs throughout the stroke. The 36 SL has 20mm additional bushing overlap over the 34, resulting in a smoother-feeling fork overall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGRIP X — UNCOMPROMISED ALL-MOUNTAIN PERFORMANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTrail riders no longer need to choose between a descent-focused damper or a lightweight endurance damper.
