36 SL
SHORT TRAVEL. HARD HITTING. ALL TRAIL.
The lightest 36 ever, the sub-1800g 36 SL injects plushness and steering responsiveness into a true Trail fork. An evolution of the 36 chassis in 120 to 140mm of travel, the 36 SL gives modern Trail riders the confidence to go big without the weight.
“I want a super engaged and ‘reactive’ short travel bike and the 36 SL is perfect for this. The stiffness and support gives you a lot of confidence at high speed.” — Hugo Frixtalon, World Cup racer, Red Bull Hardline competitor

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the 36 SL (Super Light) effectively replaces the previous FOX 34 trail fork by offering a 20% stiffer, 36mm stanchion platform in a similarly lightweight package.
The standard 36 is an all-mountain/light enduro fork with 140–160mm of travel and a heavier-duty chassis, while the 36 SL is fully optimized for weight savings and pedaling efficiency on 120–140mm trail bikes.
It is a specialized, compliant air spring designed to move independently of the lower chassis, reducing binding and friction during the stroke, making the fork feel noticeably smoother and more sensitive.
The 36 SL is only about 60-75g heavier than the standard chassis 34 even though it is approximately 20% stiffer and smoother.
Yes, riders looking for the stiffest and most capable short-travel fork can adjust the travel of the 36 SL down to as little as 120mm with an air spring kit available from FOX or authorized FOX retailers. Max travel is limited to 140mm due to the chassis design.
