36 – The Undisputed All-Mountain Champion
Smoother, stiffer and more grip. The 36 suspension fork from FOX is the perfect answer to the needs of aggressive All Mountain bikers. Made to dominate every descent.
As a representative of the Performance series, the fork equipped with the proven FLOAT air suspension features black anodized upper tubes made from 7000 aluminum. On the technical side, the reliable GRIP damping ensures an excellent riding experience. While the shape of the arch and fork legs skillfully increases strength with minimal use of material, the lowers impress with clever detail solutions. Both the "Bypass" channels and the special bleed valves (retrofittable) are dedicated to pressure regulation in order to exploit the maximum suspension travel potential on the one hand and to optimize the fork's response on the other.

GRIP | To achieve maximum performance, the GRIP damper not only has the same spring-backed and internally floating piston of the higher-class models, but also an updated pressure equalization function. Specially developed openings in the upper area also allow excess oil to be drained, increasing durability and ensuring even damping.
Lower Leg Arch | The disciplines from All Mountain to Enduro to Gravity place special demands on a modern suspension fork. In order to meet these requirements, the arch and lowers feature a design that saves every superfluous gram without compromising on stiffness and stability.
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 lower 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 lowers, keeping the inner seals and bushings lubricated at all times.
