FOX 34 SL Suspension Fork - Performance | FLOAT | GRIP - 29" | 120mm | 15x110mm - Matte Black

34 SL – Unequaled XC Capability

The FOX 34 SL delivers unprecedented XC performance in a 34 full size chassis. Designed for the most technical World Cup XC trails and demanding downcountry riding, the 34 SL offers more stiffness, more comfort and minimal weight increase compared to the 34 Step-Cast fork.

As a representative of the Performance series, the fork with the proven FLOAT air suspension, the fork has black anodized top tubes made from 7000 series aluminium. On the technical side, the reliable GRIP damping ensures an excellent riding experience.

The new design of the fork crown increases torsional stiffness by 17% compared to the previous XC fork (Fox 34 Step-Cast). The 34 SL also impresses with reduced friction and smoother suspension. The down tubes impress with clever detail solutions. The chassis impresses with clever details, such as the "Bypass" channels in the dip tubes, which prevent the air pressure from rising so that the maximum suspension travel can always be accessed.

GRIP | In order to achieve maximum performance, the GRIP shock not only has the same spring-supported and internally floating piston of the higher-class models, but also an updated pressure equalization function. Specially developed openings in the upper area also allow excess oil to be drained, which increases durability and ensures consistent damping.

Arch Against | The 34 SL triple clamp, optimized by FOX engineers, wraps around the lower part of the fork and contributes to a 17% increase in torsional stiffness over the previous XC fork, the 34 Step-Cast. Cut-outs at strategic points help to minimize weight.

Lower Leg Bypass Channels | Air pressure increases during compression, which can result in the fork not reaching its full travel. Channels in the dip tubes solve this problem by significantly increasing the air volume. This not only reduces the occurrence of unwanted pressure increases, but also allows the oil to circulate to the upper areas of the dip tubes, keeping the inner seals and bushings lubricated at all times.
