The legendary Fox 36 is back for 2022 with it's new swoopy chassis and super supple and controlled GRIP 2 damper. Combined they make for a formidable combination that is perfect for hard-charging trail and all mountain bikes.Redesigned lowers with new arch design, bypass channels and pressure bleeders is lighter, stiffer and suitable for 110x15mm Boost axlesGRIP 2 damper with VVC offers impeccable comfort, control and adjustabilityFloat EVOL Air Spring is easy to adjust to your preferenceFloating axle is easy to use and creates perfect chassis alignment for smoother suspension movementPerfect for the latest 140-160mm travel all mountain bikesThe GRIP2 damper is the benchmark for unparalleled ride quality and ultra-precise on-the-fly adjustability. For 2022, they ve taken GRIP 2 to the next level by adding our patented VVC technology to the high-speed compression circuit. VVC is a proprietary variable valve control system that allows for external fine-tuning of suspension performance. GRIP 2 achieves with the twist of a knob what typically requires the time consuming and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork.The lower leg bleeders allow for atmospheric pressure equalization at the simple press of a button. Pressure build-up in the lower legs dramatically decreases fork performance, preventing full travel from being achieved, and diminishing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness. Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours poring over every ounce of material to optimise this critical ratio. Fox s all-new lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity style riding.

Additional low-speed compression (Open mode adjust) 22 clicks, Low-speed rebound 10 clicks. Lower Leg Bypass Channels: As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Fox Suspension's lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel. Lower Leg Arch: Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours poring over every ounce of material in an effort to optimize this critical ratio. The all-new 34 pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise the stiffness or strength requirements of modern trail riding. Modern frame designs and geometry trends require modern suspension design solutions. The arch design is designed to pair perfectly with modern trail bikes.

Additional low-speed compression (Open mode adjust) 22 clicks. Low-speed rebound 10 clicks. Floating Axle: Floating axles might look similar to other axles, but in fact they offer a distinct performance advantage due to their unique ability to match the exact width of the fork’s wheel mounting surface precisely to the front hub flange spacing, thus creating perfect chassis alignment and eliminating unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs. Floating axles provide much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of the fork’s travel, notably improving sensitivity and overall ride quality. The all-new 36 and 38 come equipped with a new quick-release lever operated patent-pending floating axle system, combining the benefit of a floating axle with the ease of a tool-free quick-release. With this system, spacing is locked in via a floating sleeve, allowing repeated front wheel removal and reinstallation while maintaining perfect fork alignment. Floating sleeve positioning comes preset from the factory so if you are unsure of how to operate the floating axle system or simply don’t want to bother with it, you can just install the front wheel and get on with your ride.
