36 SL Performance Elite Suspension Fork

Trail riders have long had to choose between over-forking for stiffness or under-forking for lower weight. The 36 SL Performance Elite suspension fork takes the new 36 chassis and saves weight at strategic locations, creating a no-compromise lightweight fork for today’s hard-hitting—yet shorter travel—Trail riders.
