FOX Racing Shox

36 Float 29in Performance Elite Grip X Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Performance Elite is the real deal—same damper and chassis as Factory, just without the gold. The fork feels incredible through chattery sections and holds up beautifully when things get steep. I run it on my all-mountain rig and never look back."

The FOX Float 36 29in Performance Elite Grip X Fork delivers high-end performance with a stealthy look and a more accessible price. It’s built on the same platform as the Factory version, offering the same ride feel and chassis stiffness in a sleek black anodized finish.

The FLOAT EVOL air spring with Glidecore adapts under dynamic loads to reduce friction and maintain consistent traction through varied terrain. A reengineered arch boosts torsional stiffness by 20%, and extended bushing overlap enhances support through corners and compressions. The GRIP X damper balances tuning control and ease of use, with external adjustments for high- and low-speed compression, rebound, and a firm mode ideal for efficient pedaling.

With a floating Kabolt-X axle, compatibility with 200–230mm rotors, and clean integration for FOX’s 36 mud guard, this fork is made to tackle long descents, tech trails, and everything in between—without needing constant adjustment or upgrades.
