Fox Racing Shox 36 Factory 29" E-Optimized GRIP-X2 - 44mm Offset - 160mm - 2025
New GRIPX2 Damper
To create the ultimate descent-focused damper, we sought the level of tunability seen in motocross and supercross racing suspension. Our award-winning Grip 2 damper had a 20 mm base valve diameter and seven valves. Grip X2 scaled up the tunability by increasing the base valve diameter to 24 mm with 23 valves. The result is the most tunable, supportive, and smoothest descent-focused fork damper ever created by FOX. Riders reap the benefits of sitting higher in the travel while tires stay glued to the ground. They can corner with increased traction, giving them the confidence to push the limits of downhill and enduro racing, all while reducing overall rider fatigue.
- 23 Count Valve Stack for unprecedented tunability and quicker response to bumps.
- Award-winning Grip 2 damper had a 20mm base valve diameter and seven valves. Grip X2 scaled up the tunability by increasing the base valve diameter to 24mm with 23 valves.
- 24mm Base Valve lowers pressure to increase sensitivity and allows space for more damping circuitry.
- Pressure Balancing maintains low positive pressure, allowing 5-10ms damper response time to rider inputs.
- 4-Way Adjustability with high/low-speed compression and high/low-speed rebound, now with less cross talk.
Lower Leg Bypass Channels
Increasing air volume within the lower legs reduces the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. Lower leg bath oil also circulates to the upper reaches of the legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel.
Lower Leg Bleeders
Allows for atmospheric pressure equalization for better fork performance, allowing full travel to be achieved and increasing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.
Lower Leg Arch
The lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity-style riding.
