FOX Racing Shox

36 Float 29in E-Optimized Factory Grip X Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This version of the 36 is a dream for e-MTBs. It gives you all the stiffness you need to handle the extra weight and torque of a full-power rig but still pedals and tracks like a standard trail fork. GRIP X keeps setup simple, and it just works."

For riders pushing more bike, more power, and more terrain, the Float 36 29in Factory Grip X Fork EMTB was built to handle the added loads of aggressive e-MTB riding. FOX’s e-Optimized 36 chassis delivers class-leading stiffness, refined damping, and efficient weight management—tailored to pedal-assist bikes that demand more from their suspension.

This MY26 update includes FOX’s latest Glidecore-enhanced FLOAT EVOL air spring, which dynamically adapts under compression to reduce friction and maintain tracking under load. A redesigned arch boosts torsional stiffness by 20%, while increased bushing overlap reduces friction during heavy compression. The Grip X damper is tuned for modern trail riding, delivering HSC/LSC/LSR adjustability with a simple firm mode switch for those long fire road climbs or fast transitions.

With sturdy Kashima-coated stanchions, optional direct-mount mud guard compatibility, and post-mount rotor support up to 230mm, this fork is ready for serious e-MTB terrain—climb, descend, repeat.
