For riders who demand a stiff, responsive fork without unnecessary weight, the Fox 36 SL Float Performance Fork 2026 brings big-fork confidence to modern Trail bikes. At just 1755g (29” 140mm GRIP X), the 36 SL offers 20% greater torsional stiffness than the 34 while expanding your trail bike's capabilities.
Features:
Optimised for Trail Riding – Designed for 120-140mm travel, the 36 SL delivers the perfect blend of stiffness, compliance, and lightweight performance.
Arch Above the Rest – Generatively optimized crown and arch provide 20% more torsional stiffness over the previous Trail-class fork, the 34.
FLOAT Glidecore Compliant Air Spring – The Glidecore air spring decouples the stanchion from the air shaft to maintain smooth travel even under bending loads from speed or rider weight.
Extended Bushing Overlap – 20mm additional bushing overlap over the 34 ensures reduced friction and improved suspension feel.
GRIP X Damper – Combines excellent descending performance with an easy-access firm mode for pedalling efficiency.
Inboard Bypass Channels – Strategically relocated to reduce friction and optimise suspension feel.
Low-Profile Bleeders – Redesigned with a grooved structure for easier pressure equalisation.
Air Spring Top Cap – Now compatible with a standard Shimano cassette tool for simple volume adjustments.
Refined Mudguard Mounting – Mounted to the arch and seal flanges instead of bleeder ports for improved durability and aesthetics.
