Trail riders have long had to choose between over-forking for stiffness or under-forking for lower weight. The 36 SL Performance Elite suspension fork takes the new 36 chassis and saves weight at strategic locations, creating a no-compromise lightweight fork for today’s hard-hitting—yet shorter travel—Trail riders.

• Features a trail-optimized 3-way adjustable GRIP X damper with an updated tune provides ultra-quiet movement and exceptional ride feel
• Generatively designed arch and crown shaping increase torsional stiffness by 20% over 34 while minimizing weight increase
• The seamlessly compliant FLOAT Glidecore air spring reduces friction and bind by moving with the fork under dynamic load for a smoother suspension action
• Double-butted damper side stanchion sheds grams
• Lower Leg Bypass Channels relocated 90° inboard for improved bushing loading and reduced dynamic friction
• Easy to operate, low-profile bleeders
• Air spring top cap uses cassette tool for easy volume adjustments
