Fox Shox 36 Podium Gold GRIP X Fork – 29″- Forks

   Kashima Coated Stanchions–        The smoothest of the smooth, plus it looks cooler. The gold Kashima coating has become synonymous with friction-free suspension actuation, and it’s only available on Fox Factory components.

   Lower Leg Channels–        As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Fox’s lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel.

   Lower Leg Bleeders–        These little buttons allow for atmospheric pressure equalization for better fork performance, allowing full travel to be achieved and increasing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.

   Lower Leg Arch–        Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours poring over every ounce of material in an effort to optimize this critical ratio. Fox’s lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity style riding.

   1.5″ Tapered Aluminum Steerer

   Kabolt X Axle–        Kabolt, a lightweight bolt-on floating axle to shave grams and increase torsional stiffness via a sleeveless, single-sided pinch bolt design.

   FLOAT EVOL Air Spring–        EVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimizing small bump sensitivity. EVOL’s linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tunable bottom-out progression.

   Rotor Size–        180 Direct Post Mount, Up to 230 Compatible

   Optional Fox 36/38 Mud Guard with Sturdy 4-point Direct-mount Attachment

   GRIP X Damper–        Trail and all-mountain riders no longer need to choose between a descent-focused damper or a lightweight endurance damper. GRIP X exudes exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and an easy access firm mode for pedaling efficiency.

   Fork Adjustments–        Rebound, High / Low Speed Compression, Firm Mode
