Fox Shox presents the first freeride fork

The Americans from Fox Shox have long been a force to be reckoned with when it comes to suspension struts, and they soon secured a good slice of the pie in the cross-country and marathon market with their suspension forks, and the presentation of the first downhill fork caused quite a stir a month ago. Now Fox Shox is going one better and presenting the "36": this freeride fork offers adjustable suspension travel from 110 to 150 millimetres, with a Talas air cartridge absorbing the shocks and the damper being externally adjustable in rebound and compression.

The dimensions of the new Fox fork also correspond to the target market: As the name "36" suggests, the stanchions are generously dimensioned - their diameter is a whopping 36 millimetres. This and the fat dropouts with thru-axle ensure that Fox Shox approves the "36" for rotors of all sizes. Nevertheless, the weight should be a humane 2.5 kilograms. The first forks should be on the market in late fall, but prices have not yet been set.
