Fox Performance 34 SL Suspension Fork Description:
The Performance Fox 34 SL Suspension Fork has packed unprecedented capability and performance into a lightweight XC racing fork chassis, at a price that will leave money for other performance upgrades on the bike. Fox wrapped the sculpted arch around the lowers to provide robust torsional stiffness, and a highly machined 7000 series aluminum crown with a large internal bore further boosts stiffness while shaving as many grams as possible. Fox put a black hard anodized finish on the aluminum alloy stanchions and combined that slippery finish with increased bushing overlap in order to minimize stiction and improve small bump capability, especially when battling off camber bumps and other technical terrain.
Stuffed inside of this incredible chassis is a Grip damper with pressure balancing and a few other tricks borrowed from the other variations of the Grip damper to maximize performance. This damper still has three on-the-fly compression damping positions as well as a low speed rebound adjustment knob with 10 positions/clicks, and this fork can be firmed up with a flick of a switch for minimal movement when sprinting or charging hard uphill (there is a blowoff function if a hard impact is encountered to prevent damage to the fork). Add in the ability to fit up to a 2.5" wide tire, and this versatile and lightweight fork will be a worthwhile performance upgrade for any shorter travel mountain bike.
Features:
- Wrap around arch design with strategically placed cut outs will add significant torsional stiffness with minimal weight penalty
- Lowers with boost spacing (15x110mm) and thru axle have clearance for up to 2.5" wide tires, depending on rim width and tire design/spec
- 7000 aluminum crown with large internal bore combined with extensive external machining adds a lot of strength and stiffness while shaving precious grams
- Black hard anodized finish on the stanchions provides excellent durability and slipperiness while providing a low key appearance
- Grip damper has a fork mounted 3-position lever for on the fly compression adjustments
- Adjustable high/low-speed compression and rebound to quickly optimize pedal to bump efficiency and dial in the overall shock performance
- Low friction seals and larger bushing overlap minimize stiction for improved performance and a silky smooth suspension action
