36 E-Optimized Factory GRIP X/X2 Suspension Fork

The award winning 36 continues its all-mountain domination with a reinforced chassis to handle the increased loads of eMTB and World Cup EDR-E racing. 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 set up 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
