FOX Racing Shox

36 Float 29in E-Optimized Factory Grip X Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I swapped to this e-Optimized 36 on my full-power trail rig and it made a massive difference. The fork tracks way better under load—especially with the Glidecore spring. It feels made for bigger bikes without losing that FOX feel."

Built to withstand the unique forces and added weight of e-MTBs, the Float 36 29in Factory Grip X Fork EMTB brings FOX’s legendary control into a beefed-up package for powered trail and all-mountain riding. The MY26 chassis features generative design updates to the arch, increasing torsional stiffness by 20%, and extended bushing overlap that reduces binding and improves stroke smoothness—critical when your bike is pushing harder than ever.

The FLOAT EVOL air spring has been upgraded with Glidecore technology, allowing the fork to dynamically align with terrain during compression to reduce internal friction and maintain consistent support under high-frequency hits. For trail riders, the Grip X damper balances adjustability with simplicity, featuring external high- and low-speed compression, rebound tuning, and a firm mode ideal for efficient climbing.

Kashima-coated stanchions offer long-lasting smoothness, while a Kabolt-X floating axle and optional direct-mount mud guard provide extra durability for long travel days and powered laps. With rotor compatibility up to 230mm, this e-Optimized 36 is the high-performance suspension solution for riders who don’t want their fork to be the limiting factor.
