36 Float 29in E-Optimized Factory Grip X2 Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The e-Optimized 36 with Grip X2 turns my full-power trail machine into a true all-mountain brawler. I get full high-speed support and tuning like my enduro setup, but with better weight balance for the extra e-bike mass."

For riders pushing the boundaries of what e-MTBs can do, the Float 36 29in Factory Grip X2 Fork EMTB is FOX’s most advanced mid-travel solution. Engineered around the proven 36 chassis—now reinforced for powered bikes—the MY26 update adds next-level stiffness, internal refinements, and high-performance damping for long, steep, and fast trail riding.

Its generative-designed arch and extended 30mm bushing overlap deliver a 20% increase in torsional rigidity with no added weight. Glidecore technology in the FLOAT EVOL spring enables the air spring to respond dynamically to load alignment, minimizing friction and improving sensitivity through the full stroke. This results in improved compliance and traction over rough terrain—especially important when your rig weighs more and moves faster.

At the heart of this build is the GRIP X2 damper: a four-way adjustable system featuring independent high- and low-speed rebound and compression for unparalleled tuning. Combined with FOX's signature Kashima coating, a floating Kabolt-X axle, and updated air volume tuning via a cassette-compatible top cap, this fork is made to perform under the unique demands of e-MTB riders who ride fast and descend hard.
