Fox Suspension Factory Series Suspension Fork

While the 34 SL is optimized for lightweight cross-country racing, its 120mm travel and stiff chassis make it a capable choice for down-country setups. If you prioritize climbing efficiency and weight savings over heavy-duty enduro performance, this fork is an excellent match.

This fork is specifically designed for 29-inch wheels. It features Boost 15x110mm spacing and accommodates tires up to 2.5 inches wide, which covers most modern XC and light trail tire profiles.

The signature gold Kashima coating is more than just an aesthetic choice; it significantly reduces friction between the stanchions and seals. This results in a smoother ride, better small-bump sensitivity, and increased durability over time.

Yes, the fork is compatible with rotors up to 203mm. It comes with a standard 180mm post mount, so you will need the appropriate adapter if you choose to upgrade to a larger rotor size.

The GRIP SL damper is engineered specifically for weight-conscious XC racing, focusing on efficiency and minimal weight. The Grip X option offers more robust bump management, making it the better choice if your local trails are rougher or if you prefer a more planted feel on technical descents.

The 34 SL uses a standard 1.5-inch tapered steerer tube, which is compatible with the vast majority of modern mountain bike frames. Always double-check your frame's headset specifications to ensure compatibility with a tapered steerer.
