Overview
The FOX 36 Factory eMTB GRIP X2 is an e-Optimized 36 fork with 160 mm of travel for 29" wheels, using the GRIP X2 damper. US RRP $1,299.
The FOX 36 is FOX's Trail and All-Mountain single-crown fork. FOX describes the latest evolution as bringing "big fork energy" to the category, with greater steering stiffness and precision plus smoother travel that give it an Enduro feel without the extra weight.
Current 36 Factory and Performance Elite models use the FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring, Kabolt-X 110 axle, air channels and bleeders, and are offered with the Trail-focused GRIP X damper (updated to approach the ride feel of GRIP X2) or the gravity-ready GRIP X2. FOX also offers e-Optimized chassis versions for e-MTBs.
- e-Optimized 36 chassis for e-MTBs
- Gravity-focused GRIP X2 damper with 4-way adjustment
- FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring
- Kashima-coated stanchions, Kabolt-X 110 axle
- Direct-mount option for the FOX 36/38 mudguard
