FOX SHOX 36 FLOAT FACTORY FORK

Fox’s big, burly 36 fork gets a big performance birthday for 2019 with the addition of a new FIT GRIP2 4-way adjustable damper. Equipped with what Fox calls a Variable Valve Control (VVC) high-and low-speed rebound adjuster, it offers improved compression damping and less friction overall.

If you get easily flustered with fork settings, the Fit 4 can be switched between three predefined settings - Open, Medium and Firm - for on the fly adjustments. And there are further options to dial in the compression on the open setting and adjust the rebound, for fine-tuning.

If you’re a fan of orange, too, you can now opt for the eye-searing hue over stock black. It comes in both 27.5 and 29-inch wheel versions, with standard 51mm or tighter 44mm offset, and with the gold Kashima stanchion coating.

Shred Or Dead
Shred it, send it and then make a sick edit - that’ll be dope. At times I feel like I’ve stepped into a parody of Wayne’s World dubbed by the Clangers when listening to younger mountain bikers, and even when listening to certain older riders too, tho
