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.

• GRIP X damper exudes exemplary descent performance, refined for less weight, easier set up and an easy access firm mode for pedaling efficiency
• 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
• Air spring top cap uses cassette tool for easy volume adjustments
