Conquer the trails and unlock your full potential with the award-winning 36 Factory. Its exceptional features, including superior adjustability, Kashima Coating, low friction seals, advanced bleeders and bypass channels, floating axles, and updated crown design, combine to deliver an unparalleled riding experience that will dominate the mountain with confidence and style.
The upper tubes boast the renowned Genuine Kashima Coating, adding a touch of authenticity and ensuring outstanding durability. The presence of low-friction seals takes performance to the next level by minimizing friction, giving you a smoother and more efficient ride.
Equipped with lower leg bleeders and bypass channels, this fork allows for optimal air pressure relief and increased air volume within the lower legs. This intelligent design enhancement delivers a more balanced and controlled ride, enhancing overall performance.
The floating axles of the 36 Factory are engineered for perfect alignment, seamlessly adapting to the width of the fork's wheel mounting surface. This meticulous alignment ensures optimal chassis performance by eliminating unnecessary friction between the upper and lower fork legs, resulting in superior suspension movement and a refined riding experience.
The updated crown design shaves up to 20 grams in weight compared to its predecessor, all while also delivering significant structural improvements, ensuring robustness and reliability in the most rigorous riding conditions.
