Packed with features to dominate the descents, the 36 Performance Elite answers the call from aggressive all-mountain riders. Trail and all-mountain 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.

• 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
• Black a
