Fox Racing Shox 36 Float Factory GRIP X Tapered Podium Gold Fork

The Fox Racing Shox 36 Float Factory GRIP X Tapered Podium Gold Fork combines high-end performance with limited-edition style. Designed for aggressive all-mountain riders, it balances lightweight efficiency with precise control on technical descents. The GRIP X damper offers unmatched ride quality with reduced weight, firm-mode pedalling, and easy setup. Combined with a stiffer Kabolt X axle and pressure-relieving tech in the lower legs, it delivers smooth, responsive travel in demanding terrain.

Key Features and Benefits

• GRIP X damper with firm mode control: This all-mountain specific damper provides plush, consistent performance on rough descents. The addition of an easy-to-access firm mode improves pedalling support during climbs. As a result, it offers a highly adaptable ride for both ascending and descending.
• Kabolt X floating axle with sleeveless design: The single-sided pinch bolt saves weight while improving torsional stiffness. This enhances chassis alignment, reducing internal friction between the stanchions and lowers. The result is smoother, more controlled suspension action throughout travel.
• Lower leg bleeders and bypass channels: Bleeders quickly equalise pressure between the fork’s internals and the atmosphere. Bypass channels expand air volume to reduce harsh ramping at full compression. These features increase responsiveness and grip over small bumps.
• Reinforced lower leg arch structure: Engineered to meet the strength demands of enduro and all-mountain use while reducing material where possible. This ensures critical stiffness is retained without excess weight, improving handling under load.
• FLOAT EVOL air spring system: Enlarged negative air spring volume enhances small bump sensitivity. This offers a more supple ride off the top and better traction on loose or uneven terrain.
• Limited Podium Gold finish for 50-year anniversary: This exclusive colourway marks FOX’s milestone with a unique, once-only paint finish. It adds collector appeal without compromising on factory-level performance.

Engineered for riders who want better control and traction in technical terrain, this fork improves performance without excess weight. Its damper, axle, and air spring technologies combine to deliver a smoother ride, more precise handling, and dependable support at high speed or under heavy braking. The result is increased stability on fast descents and improved efficiency when climbing or traversing mixed terrain.

Take advantage of limited availability and top-tier performance in one package. The Podium Gold edition adds standout style to a fork built for control, consistency, and confidence on demanding trails.
