Fox Factory Series 34 SL Suspension Fork Description:

The Factory Series Fox 34 SL Suspension Fork has packed unprecedented capability and performance into a lightweight XC racing fork chassis. Fox revamped the lowers by wrapping the sculpted arch around the lowers for a substantial improvement in torsional stiffness, and a highly machined 7000 series aluminum crown with larger internal bore further boosts stiffness while shaving as many grams as possible. Fox’s signature gold Kashima coated stanchions combine with increased bushing overlap work together to minimize sticky friction and improve small bump capability over the previous generation Factory Series 34 Step Cast fork, especially when battling off camber bumps and other technical terrain.

Stuffed inside of this incredible chassis are one of two different dampers to further optimize a fork for a riders needs/riding preferences. The Grip SL damper is the lighter weight option, and this damper has been specifically designed for shorter travel forks. Despite its light weight, this damper still has three on the fly compression damping positions, and it can be locked out when sprinting or charging hard uphill (there is a blowoff function if a hard impact is encountered to prevent damage to the fork). Speaking of lockout, the Grip SL damper with a Push Lock can be locked out with a handlebar mounted lever. The other available damper for this chassis is the Grip X damper, which takes all of the goodness off the Grip SL damper and adds enhanced small bump sensitivity and tuning capabilities (while adding a nominal amount of weight) that makes this damper an excellent option for riders building up a short travel down-country trail bike. Add in the ability to fit up to a 2.5″ wide tire, and any version of this versatile and lightweight fork will make any short travel trail or racing mountain bike more capable than ever before.

Features:

• Wrap around arch design with strategically placed cut outs will add significant torsional stiffness with minimal weight gain compared to the previous generation Fox 34 Step-Cast XC fork
• Lowers with boost spacing (15x110mm) and Kabolt SL thru axle have clearance for up to 2.5″ wide tires, depending on rim width and tire design/spec
• 7000 aluminum crown with large internal bore combined with extensive external machining adds a lot of strength and stiffness while shaving precious grams
• Genuine Kashima Coating on the stanchions for the smoothest, most durable finish available from FOX
• Grip SL damper is available with either a fork mounted 3-position lever or a handlebar mounted push lock lever, and is lightest, highest performing damper for XC racing applications
• GRIP X offers enhanced compression and rebound adjustments for better bump management especially when going downhill, with a modest weight gain over Grip SL damper
• Either damper option features adjustable high/low-speed compression and rebound make for an easier time dialing in the forks performance
• Low friction seals and larger bushing overlap minimize stiction for improved performance and a silky smooth suspension action
