Fox - 34 SL Factory Fork - Grip X 29"

FOX - 34 SL FACTORY FORK - GRIP X

TRAIL SMASHING FUN
The 34 SL with GRIP X is a highly capable trail fork designed to deliver outstanding descending performance while retaining efficient pedaling on climbs, all with minimal added weight. This model features our trail-tuned GRIP X damper, refined to approach the ride feel of the GRIP X2 while offering exceptional performance for its weight in its class.

REDESIGNED ARCH AND CROWN
Generatively designed and optimised by FOX engineers, the new 34 SL arch wraps around the lowers to increase torsional stiffness of the fork by 17% over the previous 34 SC. Cutouts at strategic locations in the arch help minimise weight of the lowers. In addition to the arch, the generatively designed 7000 series aluminium crown also contributes to overall torsional stiffness, with larger internal lightening bores and a black anodized finish (lighter than paint) to save even more weight.

MORE BUSHING OVERLAP
Bushings are Teflon-lined sleeves that interface the stanchions with the lower legs of the fork. There are two bushings in each leg, for a total of four in a fork. “Bushing overlap” refers to the distance between upper and lower bushings in each leg.
As the fork is loaded sideways (such as running over an obstacle on the trail), that bending force is translated from the lower leg to the stanchions through the bushings. Think of it as using a breaker bar sleeved over a wrench when trying to loosen a very tight lug nut. The more overlap you have, the less reaction force between the wrench handle and breaker bar. In suspension forks, this greater overlap reduces friction between the stanchions and lower legs throughout the stroke.

The 34 SL increases the bushing overlap by 20% over the 34 SC for a smoother feeling fork overall. Riders will notice additional suppleness at higher speeds when bending loads on the fork are at their greatest.

GRIP X TRAIL OPTIMIZED
This version comes with our trail-optimized GRIP X Damper for superb descent performance with a firm mode for climbing.
