Fox 34 SL Factory Grip SL 29in Fork
FOX 34 SL Factory GRIP SL 29in Fork
The trail fork with XC DNA
In a world where XC bikes are more capable than ever before, and lighter and faster trail bikes are becoming the norm, FOX is leading the charge with the new FOX 34 SL fork. This new 34 SL reimagines what a ~1470-gram fork can do—incorporating a full-size 34mm chassis (not Step Cast), with a high-volume air spring, and up to 130mm of travel, all in the weight class of an XC race fork. The 34 SL uses a new, generatively designed arch for a 17% increase in lateral stiffness over the 34 SC, with strategic cutouts, and a 7000-series alloy crown with a black anodized finish for reduced weight. FOX also increased bushing overlap in the 34 SL by 20mm compared to the 34 SC, for a smoother fork, especially at high speeds. The FOX 34 SL redefines a category, with more capability, less weight, and zero compromises.
Features
- Weight optimized with unbeatable capability double-butted damper-side stanchions, internal lightening bores, Kabolt SL axle, and a lower-weight black anodized finish
- Redesigned arch and crown increase torsional stiffness by 17% over previous 34 Step-Cast fork
- GRIP SL damper lighter than the original GRIP damper, is designed specifically for XC and short-travel trail bikes, with a fully locked-out mode, three compression modes, and unparalleled ride quality
- Full 34mm chassis (not Step-Cast) offers a larger volume air spring and a maximum 130mm travel, letting riders rail the fastest descents when it's needed
- FLOAT EVOL Compliant air spring attaches the air spring shaft to seal cups with rubber elastomers, for smoother fork travel and reduced binding under hard cornering loads
- Inboard Bypass Channels help to reduce pressure ramping, increasing small bump sensitivity while creating improved oil circulation
- Genuine Kashima coat protects the stanchions while reducing friction and improving performance
