FOX Racing Shox 36 FLOAT E-Optimized Factory Grip X2 29in Shiny Black, Kabolt, 160mm, 44mm Rake

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""What stands out immediately on the 36 FLOAT E-Optimized Factory Grip X2 29in is how planted it feels through rough terrain. The GRIP X2 gives you genuine high and low-speed control on both ends, so you're actually riding through chunky sections with intention rather than just surviving them. The e-optimized chassis stiffens up the steering without making it feel twitchy — which matters a lot when motor-assisted speed is carrying you into corners faster than you'd normally arrive.""There's a moment on every all-mountain ride where the trail tilts down and gets serious — where the roots get bigger, the rocks sharper, the line choices matter. The FOX 36 FLOAT E-Optimized Factory Grip X2 29in was built for that moment, and every one like it. The e-optimized chassis adds meaningful steering stiffness over the standard 36, so the fork tracks precisely at the speeds a capable all-mountain rider — or a well-assisted one — tends to generate on fast, technical descents. The GRIP X2 damper runs four independent adjustments: high and low-speed compression, high and low-speed rebound. That range of tuning means the fork can be dialed to match riding style, trail conditions, and rider weight rather than accepting a generic factory setup. The FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring delivers a supple initial stroke and ramps up progressively through the 160mm of travel, resisting bottom-outs on big hits without sacrificing small-bump sensitivity in the first third of travel. Kashima-coated upper tubes reduce friction and extend the service life of the stanchions, and the Kabolt-X 110 axle locks the front wheel in with the precision and rigidity the chassis is built around. For all-mountain riders ready to push the envelope on what their fork can handle, the 36 FLOAT E-Optimized Factory Grip X2 29in is the answer."
