Fox Racing Shox 34 SL Factory Fork

The 34 SL Factory Grip X Fork delivers class-leading stiffness, increased suppleness, and up to 130mm of travel in a full 34 chassis. Designed for modern XC and Downcountry riders, it enhances control on technical terrain with minimal weight gain. The GRIP SL damper ensures efficient pedalling and bump compliance, making it the lightest XC damper with exceptional ride feel.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Full 34 Chassis with Larger Volume Air Spring: The standard 34 chassis (not Step-Cast) provides greater stiffness and allows for up to 130mm of travel, giving riders more confidence on technical XC and Downcountry trails.
• Redesigned Arch for 17% More Torsional Stiffness: The generativity engineered arch wraps around the lowers, improving structural integrity while strategic cut-outs reduce weight without sacrificing strength.
• 7000 Series Aluminium Crown with Internal Lightening Bores: A black anodized finish and larger internal bores further reduce weight while maintaining durability, making it ideal for aggressive XC riders.
• 20% More Bushing Overlap for a Smoother Ride: Increased overlap between upper and lower bushings reduces friction through the stroke, improving small bump sensitivity and control at high speeds.
• GRIP SL Damper (120mm) for Optimised Pedal-to-Bump Efficiency: Built for elite XC racing, this short-travel-specific damper delivers improved pedalling response while maintaining exceptional bump absorption on descents.
• GRIP X Damper (130mm) for Trail-Optimised Performance: Available in the 130mm chassis, the GRIP X damper enhances control and compliance, bringing trail-capable damping to the 34 SL. Riders benefit from better support on rough terrain while maintaining efficient pedalling for technical XC and Downcountry riding.
• Ultra-Lightweight at 1475g (29” 130mm GRIP SL): Weighing 100g less than the closest competitor, the 34 SL offers an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, helping riders climb faster and descend with confidence.

Engineered for World Cup XC courses and the most demanding Downcountry trails, the 34 SL Factory Grip X Fork offers stiffness, responsiveness, and efficiency without unnecessary weight. Riders benefit from enhanced small bump compliance, superior pedalling efficiency, and increased travel options, making it the most capable short-travel fork available.

Upgrade your ride with the 34 SL Factory Grip X Fork and experience next-level control, efficiency, and performance on technical terrain.
