Review: BikePerfect - Fox Float 36 GRIP2 Fork

BikePerfect has reviewed the Fox Float 36 Factory GRIP2 Fork, Here's what they thought: 

Fox introduced this, the latest 36, in the 2021 season and it rapidly established itself as the best mountain bike fork for aggressive mid-travel trail riding. A new air-spring and damping range finally caters for lighter or less aggressive riders but still delivers for proper pinners. While this superb fork is top of the range, the Factory version we're looking at here isn’t the most cost-effective model though.

The latest Fox 36 is a major evolution from previous models inside and out. The most obvious changes structurally are the much bigger, rounded arch with more forward projection. This also gets threaded mounts for a dedicated fender which I’ve not tested but looks a bit small to make much difference in real mud. The back of the fork also features a raised rib that houses a bypass channel from the lowers up to a ‘Bleeder’ air valve on each leg. The crown has more overlap to combat steerer creak and the dropouts now have a floating adjuster to give perfect lower leg alignment. However, while the crown is 20g lighter, overall weight actually increases over the previous incarnation.
