FOX 36 Foat 180 FIT RC2 Black *OE (Tapered Steerer)
Details
Trails have progressed, riders have gotten better and Fox is right there with amazing suspension. Their mind-bending 36 Float 180 FIT RC2 fork rocks 180mm of Fox's renowned, smooth travel at just over 5 pounds! A clever below-the-axle lower leg design gives you a super low axle-to-crown length so you get 180mm with a shred-happy handlebar height. This, combined with the 36mm-diameter stanchions and 20mm through-axle make the fork super stiff for pinning off-camber corners and charging hard through wheel-twisting roots and rocks. The adjustable rebound as well as high- and low-speed compression let you tune your fork for everything from big hits to small bumps, while the FIT damper keeps air and oil separate, ensuring smooth, consistent suspension all the way down the hill. Long travel and low weight are not mutually exclusive anymore, and Fox's 36 Float 180 FIT RC2 is proof.
*OE model only differs from the full aftermarket version in color. All other features and functions are exactly the same.
For the best suspension yet, Fox has brought Miyaki Company of Japan’s legendary Kashima Coat to its fork stanchions. You can recognize it by the unique gold color. This coating, which is four times harder than hard-anodized aluminum, made its name in car and motorcycle suspensions and drivetrains, and now you can enjoy all its amazing benefits. These include super low friction, excellent abrasion resistance and durability, and significantly better lubrication characteristics. In short, this fork is way more reactive, soaks up even tiny bumps and lasts longer with less maintenance, too.
Fox's 20QR through-axle system boasts a hollow forged axle for outstanding strength and stiffness and minimal weight. Plus, the axle is held in place by quick releases so you can remove the wheel without tools.
