Fork FOX 36 Factory Grip X 29" 160mm Orange 2025

All-Mountain specialist with 160mm travel also for e-bikes!

Starting with the 2025 model year, FOX is introducing redesigned Float 36 forks that bring improvements to existing technologies.

The “Factory” name says it all. The best technologies FOX has to offer are available in the Factory Series models, including our ultra-durable original Kashima Coat, which ensures the fork runs buttery smooth.

TECHNOLOGIES:

GRIP X Damping: When it's time to climb, simply turn the high-speed compression dial clockwise until you feel the last distinct click. At this point, the GRIP X simultaneously locks out both high-speed and low-speed compression, creating a solid platform for efficient power transfer to the pedals. Before descending, return the high-speed compression dial back to your desired setting and descend with all the added traction and predictability without compromise.

Float: The lightweight FLOAT air suspension system automatically balances the positive and negative air chambers for increased responsiveness and traction regardless of air pressure setting. Riders can fine-tune Features of a positive air spring using Volume Air inserts.

Bleeders: Forks have bleeder valves at the back of the lower legs, which allow you to equalize the pressure in the fork legs with atmospheric pressure. Different pressure in the fork reduces the sensitivity of the suspension, so you can equalize it by simply pressing the valve with your finger. The pressure in the legs changes especially at higher temperatures, such as during intensive use on long descents or at high altitudes.

Lower Leg Channels: New air-oil channels allow trapped air in the lower legs to pass through the slide bushings. The channels' second function is to allow oil from the lower legs to reach the upper seals, keeping them freshly lubricated.

Floating Axle: The new axle system prevents the parallelism of the fork legs from being affected by the different width of the front hub. Perfect alignment reduces friction during suspension, which is more efficient and smoother. The mechanism on the right fork leg can be adjusted exactly to your hub width and eliminates leg compression when retracting the axle.

Lower Leg Arch: The bridge between the lower legs has a new rounded shape, increasing the stiffness of the fork while also creating more space between the bridge and the bike frame when the fork is fully compressed.
