Float 36 Peformance Elite Fork 2027

The latest evolution of the FOX 36 brings big fork energy to Trail and All-Mountain riding, delivering the perfect balance of stiffness, control, and smooth suspension performance. With enhanced steering precision and a buttery-smooth ride feel, the 36 captures the confidence of an Enduro fork—without the added weight. Built for aggressive trail riders, it’s designed to perform across everything from fast, flowing singletrack to steep, technical descents.

Constructed around the proven standard chassis, this fork offers a refined blend of strength and responsiveness, keeping handling precise while reducing rider fatigue over long days on the trail. Air channels and bleed valves help maintain consistent performance by managing internal pressure, while the upper tubes are finished for smooth, reliable suspension action.

At the heart of the fork is the updated GRIP X damper, engineered to approach the ride feel of GRIP X2 while delivering exceptional performance per gram. Paired with the FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring, it provides a supple initial stroke with supportive mid-stroke characteristics, ensuring traction, control, and confidence across varied terrain.

Available in 160mm of travel, the FOX 36 Performance Series is purpose-built for riders looking to push harder on demanding trails without compromising efficiency or control.

GRIP X Damper Performance

The GRIP X damper is tuned for Trail and All-Mountain riding, delivering a balanced combination of sensitivity, support, and efficiency. Designed to emulate the feel of GRIP X2 in a lighter, more streamlined package, it offers consistent damping performance and confident handling across a wide range of conditions.
