XC courses are more technical than ever with the latest longer-travel XC bikes more than capable. With a stout full-width stance, increased travel and tire clearance and svelte sub-1500g weight, the new 34 SL Performance Elite suspension fork is built to exceed the demands of modern XC and downcountry.

• Full-width 34mm chassis with aggressive generative design-aided arch and crown for 17% increase in stiffness and 10mm increase in travel over 34 SC, at only 3% weight increase
• 20mm increased bushing overlap for reduced friction and greater stiffness with no increase in axle-to-crown length (compared to 34 SC)
• Longer air spring than 34 SC with larger negative volume mirrors 34 LT’s supple initial stroke and 34 SC’s supportive mid and end stroke
• Double-butted damper side stanchion for weight savings
• Lower Leg Bypass Channels relocated 90° inboard for improved bushing loading and reduced dynamic friction
• Features an incredibly light and short travel-specific GRIP SL Damper that not only saves weight, but provides an unparalleled ride feel in its class
• Three on-the-fly compression damping positions: Open, Medium, Firm
• Air spring top cap uses cassette tool for easy volume adjustments
