34 SL Float 29in Factory Grip X Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This fork is ridiculously light for what it does. With 130mm of travel, stiffer lowers, and the Grip X damper, it turned my fast XC rig into something I can throw down gnarlier trail features with zero hesitation."

The 34 SL Float 29in Factory Grip X Fork redefines the limits of what an XC-class fork can do. Taking cues from trail-focused platforms, this 130mm travel version leverages Fox’s lightweight SL chassis with a full-width stance and 34mm stanchions for maximum stiffness and control in aggressive terrain. The generative-designed 7000-series aluminum crown and external machining reinforce torsional rigidity without tipping the scales.

Its air spring mirrors the longer-travel 34 LT’s supple initial stroke, while the GRIP X damper offers a wide range of adjustability with high- and low-speed compression plus low-speed rebound. With updated internals and lower-leg bypass channels moved inboard, friction is reduced under load—giving it a notably smoother stroke during technical compressions. The FLOAT EVOL system expands the negative spring volume to further enhance traction and mid-stroke support.

With a Kashima finish, direct-post 180mm rotor mount, and compatibility up to 203mm rotors, this fork is optimized for short-travel trail bikes, race-focused XC machines, or downcountry builds that demand high performance across diverse terrain. It’s a top-tier component for riders chasing KOMs and finish lines alike.
