Trail riders have long had to choose between over-forking for stiffness or under-forking for lower weight. The 36 SL Performance 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.

• New generatively designed arch and crown shaping increase torsional stiffness by 20% over 34 while minimizing weight increase
• New compliant air spring design reduces chassis friction
• New double-butted damper side stanchion sheds grams
• Lower Leg Bypass Channels relocated 90° inboard for improved bushing loading and reduced dynamic friction
• New easier to operate, low-profile bleeders
• Proven and reliable GRIP damper features a 3-position lever for easy set up and firm mode for pedaling efficiency
• Air spring top cap uses cassette tool for easy volume adjustments
