36E – Continuing All-Mountain Domination
The Undisputed AM Champion. The award-winning 36 suspension fork continues its triumphant march in an eMTB version. To optimally withstand the stresses of e-bike racing, the "E" model features a suitably reinforced chassis.
Smoother, stiffer, and more responsive. The FOX 36 fork is the perfect answer to the demands of aggressive All-Mountain riders. Built to dominate every descent. As a representative of the Factory series, this fork with the proven FLOAT air suspension is, of course, feature-rich. Technically, the Trail-focused GRIP X damper particularly stands out, showcasing its strengths not only over long distances but also in Downhill use.
While the arch and fork leg shape skillfully increase stiffness with minimal material use, the lower legs impress with intelligent detail solutions. Both the "Bypass" channels and the special bleed valves are dedicated to pressure management to maximize the suspension's travel potential on one hand and optimize the fork's response on the other. With its smooth and extremely durable Kashima coating, the 36 is also visually impressive.

GRIP X Uncompromised All-Mountain Performance. Downhill-oriented or rather light and suitable for long distances? Thanks to the GRIP X damper, Trail riders no longer have to decide. This versatile damper combines unmatched Downhill performance with reduced weight and easy adjustment, which also offers a firm mode for efficient climbing.
Lower Leg Arch The disciplines from All-Mountain to Enduro to Gravity place particular demands on a modern suspension fork. To meet these demands, the arch and lower legs feature a design that saves every superfluous gram without compromising stiffness and stability.
Lower Leg Bypass Channels Air pressure increases during compression, which can prevent the fork from reaching its full travel. The channels in the lower legs solve this problem by significantly increasing the air volume. This not only reduces the occurrence of unwanted pressure spikes but also allows oil to circulate into the upper areas of the lower legs, keeping the internal seals and bushings constantly lubricated.
Lower Leg Bleeders To further improve sensitivity and responsiveness to small bumps, in addition to the "Bypass" channels, the lower legs are equipped with bleed valves that allow equalizing atmospheric pressure with the simple press of a button.
Kabolt X The floating Bolt-On thru-axle with a one-sided Pinch-Axle design not only saves weight at every possible point but also improves torsional stiffness. Furthermore, the chassis alignment prevents unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs, for smoother suspension movement throughout the entire travel.
