What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This setup nails the balance between stiffness and responsiveness. It pedals like a trail fork but gives me the confidence of something much beefier on the descent. The chassis updates and Glidecore spring really step it up-this thing rips."The FOX Float 36 29in Factory Grip X Fork blends precise trail handling with downhill-capable support, making it a favorite for all-mountain riders who demand performance on both the ups and the downs. With a 44mm rake and travel options that slot perfectly into aggressive trail geometry, it offers quick handling without compromising stability. Built around FOX's updated 36mm chassis, this MY26 version introduces a redesigned arch for 20% more torsional stiffness and longer bushing overlap for improved support through rough compressions and braking chatter. The Glidecore-enhanced FLOAT EVOL air spring reduces friction by self-aligning under dynamic loads, helping the fork stay planted and responsive through chunky terrain. The GRIP X damper delivers buttery compression and rebound control with an intuitive firm mode for efficient pedaling, making it just as comfortable climbing as it is plowing through the rowdy stuff. With a floating Kabolt-X axle, Kashima-coated stanchions, and support for up to 230mm rotors, this fork brings enduro-worthy confidence to trail-weight builds. Whether you're powering through loam or pushing into steep chutes, the Float 36 is ready.
