Fox 36 Performance Elite 2022 Float GRIP2 BOOST 160 Mm MTB Suspension Fork 29″

Since its launch in 2005, the 36 Factory has been the reliable workhorse of FOX for the toughest trails in the world. With the introduction of the FOX 38 in 2021, the US suspension specialists slightly revised their in-house classification and “downgraded” the 36 to an All-Mountain fork. Since the understanding of All-Mountain and Enduro is quite different in the USA than it is here, this does not mean it is less powerful – on the contrary!

With a revised design on the outside and technical advances on the inside, the 2022 FOX 36 Performance Elite impresses with the same fantastic GRIP2 damping as the Factory series forks – resulting in the same outstanding combination of uncompromising performance, perfect tunability, high stiffness and low weight. Only the Performance Elite series does not have the elegant Kashima coating and instead comes with classic black anodised upper tubes.
So you’ll have a little less bling-bling, but a bit more understatement…
