34 – The Hard-Charging Do-It-All Trail Fork
Smoother, stiffer and more grip. This is the venerable 34 mm suspension fork from FOX, which is more powerful than ever in its current version. The fact that this Trail fork is not to be underestimated is revealed both by its low weight and its performance bordering on perfection on All Mountain descents.
The chassis impresses with clever detail solutions, such as the "Bypass" channels in the dip tubes, which prevent the air pressure from rising so that the maximum suspension travel can always be accessed. The shape of the bridge and fork legs, which harmonize with current trail bikes and skilfully increase strength with minimal use of materials, is in no way inferior. As a representative of the Performance series, the fork equipped with the tried-and-tested FLOAT air suspension has black anodized top tubes made from 7000 series aluminium. On the technical side, the reliable GRIP 2 damping ensures an excellent riding experience.

GRIP2 | Unique ride quality and high-precision adjustability. Thanks to the patented Variable Valve Control (VVC) Technology, external fine-tuning of the suspension performance is possible.
Lower Leg Arch | This form of triple clamp harmonizes perfectly with modern trail bikes, where the head tube profiles are larger and the offset values are lower. In order to create sufficient clearance for the head tube at full compression, the triple clamp is directed forwards. Countless hours of development work have resulted in an organic fork leg shape that guarantees optimum stiffness with absolutely minimal use of material.
Lower Leg Bypass Channels | When the fork compresses, the air pressure increases, which can result in the fork not reaching its full travel. Channels in the dip tubes solve this problem by significantly increasing the air volume. This not only reduces the occurrence of unwanted pressure increases, but also allows the oil to circulate to the upper areas of the dip tubes, keeping the inner seals and bushings lubricated at all times.
