FOX Racing Shox 36 Float 27.5 150 3Pos Adj FIT4 Fork 2017

The time has finally come to build up your dream enduro machine for a season of harder hits, bigger lines, and miles of brown pow, and you want to make sure you have the right fork leading the way through the rough stuff.

When you're challenging your suspension to do exactly what it was designed for, the 22 sub settings in the Open mode allow you to differentiate between large, crater filled descents, boulder strewn rock gardens, and lift accessed lines where you spend more time in the air than on the ground.
