Packed with features to dominate the descents, the 36 answers the call from aggressive all-mountain riders. Available in both trail-focused GRIP X and gravity-focused GRIP X2 damper options. - GRIP X damper exudes exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier setup, and an easy access firm mode for pedaling efficiency - Generative design-assisted lower leg arch shape increases torsional stiffness by 20%, while reducing overall material - Additional 30mm bushing overlap than the prior model 36, reduces chassis friction, increasing stiffness, and boosting performance - New compliant FLOAT EVOL air spring design allows for a slight misalignment under load, reducing chassis friction noticeably - Lower leg bypass channels were relocated 90 inboard to a lower stress area, reducing dynamic friction under bending forces - Double-butted stanchion (on damper side) shaves weight, helping us achieve goal of zero weight increase - New air spring top cap for easier air volume adjustments, removable with cassette tool (Sold separately) - Redesigned bleeders are sleeker and easier to operate - Kabolt X axle shaves grams while increasing torsional stiffness via a sleeveless, single-sided pinch bolt design - Kashima Coating on upper tubes for added smoothness and durability
