The Fox 36 Factory GRIP X2 Fork - 2027 is an all-mountain suspension fork that delivers precise control, high stiffness, and smooth, tunable performance for demanding terrain. It uses an updated chassis to improve steering accuracy and tracking, while keeping weight low for efficient climbing. The GRIP X2 damper provides full external adjustment, so you can fine-tune the ride to suit changing trail conditions. A FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring supports consistent traction and mid-stroke support, helping you maintain control across rough ground.Key Features and Benefits:e-Optimised chassis design: The revised chassis increases torsional stiffness at the front end. This improves steering accuracy and wheel tracking under load, so you maintain control through technical sections and at higher speeds.GRIP X2 damper with HSC, LSC, HSR, and LSR adjustment: Independent high- and low-speed compression and rebound controls allow precise tuning. This helps you manage impact forces and rebound speed, resulting in a more stable and controlled ride across varied terrain.FLOAT EVOL GlideCore air spring: A large negative air chamber improves small-bump sensitivity, while the GlideCore design supports smoother movement under side loads. This ensures consistent traction and better mid-stroke support when the fork is under pressure.Kashima-coated upper tubes: The low-friction coating reduces stiction and wear over time. This allows the fork to move more freely, improving responsiveness and maintaining performance through repeated use.Integrated bleed valves: Built-in valves release excess air from the lowers. This keeps the fork performing consistently by maintaining correct internal pressure, especially during long or demanding rides.Optional FOX 36/38 mud guard compatibility: A secure 4-point mounting system allows a dedicated mud guard to be fitted. This helps protect the fork and rider from debris, improving reliability and visibility in poor conditions.This fork is built to maintain control when trail conditions change quickly. The combination of a stiff chassis and a highly adjustable damper allows you to manage both small trail feedback and larger impacts with precision. The air spring supports consistent traction, helping the front wheel stay planted without feeling harsh. This balance of sensitivity and support keeps handling predictable, even on rough or uneven ground.Set up the fork to match your riding style and terrain, and get consistent performance from climb to descent. It is a practical upgrade for riders who want accurate handling, reliable damping, and long-term durability from their suspension.Specifications:Wheel Size: 29”Travel: 160mmDamper: GRIP X2Air Spring: FLOAT EVOL GlideCoreAxle: Kabolt-X 110Rake: 44mmSteerer: 1.5” TaperedRotor Size: 200mm direct Post Mount (up to 230mm compatible)
