34 Factory GRIP X Suspension Fork

A trail fork not to be underestimated, the venerable 34 is more capable than ever before. With damping optimized for trail, the 34 excels at all-mountain descending while keeping the weight low. Trail riders no longer need to choose between a descent-focused damper or a lightweight endurance damper. The GRIP X damper exudes exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and an easy access firm mode for pedaling efficiency.
