Fox Racing Shox 36 Float 29 Factory E-Optimized Grip X2 - Black

The Fox 36 Float 29" Factory E-Optimized Grip X2 is the ultimate fork for All-Mountain and Enduro riders seeking downhill performance.

Designed in its e-Optimized version, it meets the increased demands of e-MTBs by offering enhanced stiffness and optimised durability without compromising weight. Its 160 mm travel ensures excellent control on technical terrain.

The standard chassis features 36 mm stanchions with a Kashima coating for exceptional durability and smoothness. Air/Oil Channels and bleeders allow optimal internal pressure management, ensuring consistent performance on all trails.

On the damping side, the fork features the GRIP X2 cartridge, derived from motocross technology and one of FOX’s best systems for adjustability and performance. This Grip X2 cartridge keeps the fork higher in its travel and provides a high level of personalisation for both compression and rebound tuning. FOX achieved this by redesigning the internal parts of the cartridge with a piston shaft increased from 8 to 10 mm in diameter, a base valve increased from 20 to 24 mm, and a shim stack increased from 7 to 23 shims for this new generation – offering even more tuning possibilities.

The GRIP X2 cartridge offers precise tuning with:

• High-speed compression (HSC): 8 clicks
• Low-speed compression (LSC): 18 clicks
• High-speed rebound (HSR): 8 clicks
• Low-speed rebound (LSR): 16 clicks

The FLOAT EVOL air spring provides excellent small-bump sensitivity and a progressive feel adapted to technical terrain.

With a weight of only 1929 g, this fork is ideal for demanding racers.
