36 OBJECTIVES

Significant weight reduction while retaining

strength and stiffness
Dramatic friction reduction
Improve RC2 damper tunes

Improve air spring system

Convertible 15/20 mm thru-axle design
Accommodate all wheel sizes
Internally adjustable travel

36 CHASSIS REVISION
WEIGHT

Optimized chassis design to lower weight

without sacrificing strength (starting at
4.19lbs/1901g)

1.5 tapered steerer = 34g lighter

1.5 crowns = 45g lighter
Upper tube set = 114g lighter
Lower leg = 98g lighter
20mm pinch-axle and hardware = 65g lighter
than 20QR system
FLOAT air spring = 94g lighter

36 CHASSIS REVISION
STEERER

New optimized butting profile to minimize

weight and maximize stiffness

CROWN

Shorter steerer press-in height to minimize

axle-to-crown length
Stylized to match the new 36 lower legs

UPPER TUBE

New internal and external finish reduces friction

36 CHASSIS REVISION
LOWER LEG

Arch and dropout designs evolved from the

2014 40
Maximized bushing overlap for lowest
friction and wear
Lower leg tube section has a new optimized
5-taper design
180mm direct disc brake post mount - no
need for adapter hardware saves 20g
Convertible thru-axle design works with
15mm and 20mm axles

36 CHASSIS REVISION
WHEEL SIZES: 26, 27.5, 29

26 - FLOAT and TALAS 160mm and 180mm

27.5 - FLOAT and TALAS 160mm and FLOAT 170mm
29 - FLOAT and TALAS 150mm and 160mm

36 CHASSIS REVISION
CONVERTIBLE 15MM/20MM
THRU-AXLE SYSTEM
Both axles included with fork
Pinch bolt design is light and stiff
(65g lighter than 20QR system)

36 CHASSIS REVISION
1-1/8 STRAIGHT STEERER OPTIONS
26" only:
FLOAT 160 and 180
TALAS 160 and 180
VAN 180

36 RC2 DAMPER
Refined RC2 damper
rebound adjust
high- and low-speed compression adjust
proven FIT sealed cartridge
Updated tune
Updated seal head design
Lower viscosity damper oil for
improved rebound performance

36 FLOAT AIR SPRING

FOX Load Optimized Air Technology
Maintains consistent axle to crown length regardless
of rider weight
New positive/negative FLOAT system
Reduced feedback (less vibration to bars)
Tunable air spring via volume spacers
Blue 7.6cc and orange 10.8cc sizes
(comes with one blue spacer installed
and three in the box)
94g lighter

36 FLOAT TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT

INTERNALLY ADJUSTABLE TRAVEL
Two designated systems (air spring and damper)
160 and 180
Travel change for both systems
adjustable in 10mm increments
