For MY23 production (2023 model year), the FOX 36 Factory fork receives an update in the form of a new crown with advanced design and engineering to smooth out the steerer tube overlap, improving durability and maintaining the rigidity while losing 20 grams.
The Factory line is feature rich and designed to exceed the demands of our Factory level riders. What we sell is what they run. Factory Series products feature an authentic Kashima coating that is smooth and ultra-durable.

20 grams lighter, while increasing the head tube overlap at the CSU, the new crown design improves durability while our engineering maintains stiffness and reduces weight.
Thru axles may look like other axles, but in fact they offer a distinct performance advantage due to their unique ability to match the exact width of the fork wheel mounting surface precisely to the front hub flange spacing, creating perfect chassis alignment and eliminating unwanted. friction between the upper and lower fork legs. Floating axles provide much smoother suspension movement throughout the fork's travel range, notably improving sensitivity and overall ride quality.
The all-new 36 and 38 feature a new, patent-pending, quick-release lever-operated thru-axle system, combining the benefits of a floating axle with the ease of quick tool-less disassembly. With this system, the spacing is locked via a floating sleeve, allowing repeated removal and reinstallation of the front wheel while maintaining perfect fork alignment. Floating sleeve positioning is preset at the factory, so if you don't know how to use thru-axle or just don't want to worry about it, you can just install the front wheel and get on your ride.
Available as an option is the new Kabolt-X, a lightweight bolt-on floating axle exclusively for the all-new 36 and 38 that not only reduces grams, but also increases torsional stiffness thanks to its single-sided, sleeveless pinch bolt design. Chassis alignment has to be reset every time the front wheel is removed and reinstalled on Kabolt-X and 40 floating axles, but the end result is the same: perfect alignment and perfect performance.
Increasing the volume of air in the lower legs reduces the amount of additional unintended pressure increase. The lower leg bath oil also circulates through the upper legs, continuously lubricating the rings and foam rings as the fork compresses and extends throughout its travel.
Allows air pressure equalization for better fork performance, helping achieve full travel and increasing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness.
Our new lower leg design goes all out, shaving every gram possible while making sure not to compromise the stiffness or strength demands of modern enduro and gravity riding.
Unrivaled ride quality and ultra-precise tuning. Allows external adjustment of suspension performance through our patented Variable Valve Control (VVC) technology.
Optimizes small bump sensitivity by increasing the volume of the negative air spring. Its linear spring curve provides softness from the top, extra mid-stroke support, and a more adjustable bottom-to-top progression.
