fox factory 36

$800? Where?

Here's the ebike version for 2019 still in stock for $900
Fox 36 Float E-Bike+ 29 160 Grip 2 HSC/LSC HSR/LSR Boost Fork 2019 from BikeBling.com

Has anyone mounted the non ebike version on their ebike?
Any problems?

My understanding is that an E-BIKE specific fork is down to the tuning, and some only have 34 inners due to the thickness of the stanchions been too thick for a 36 internal, for instance, the Pivot Shuttle is supplied with a none E-BIKE specific fork {fox 36}, just a specific tune, they actually state on their website that the E-BIKE specific fork {fox 36} comes with 34 inners

If the Fox36 volumespacers, in the S-Works have the colour green, then it is the stronger e-bike Fork! I have this one, in my 2020 Levo with Grip2 damper. I Love this Fork, dont Care about the Weight (2,4kg). But Love the stiffness and Setting possibililities. It will be very Interesting, if the S-works have the same "real" e-bike 36 fork ???

Interesting indeed, although I would not know if the internals of an E-BIKE specific Fox 36 were those of a Fox 34 or not, on my Pivot Shuttle it has a Fox Factory 36, none E-BIKE specific but with an E-BIKE specific tune, the E-BIKE specific Fox 36 has thicker stanchions thus resulting in a stiffer fork due to the E-BIKES weight, it was my Pivot dealer that told me about the 34 inners, the standard Factory Fox 36 work great.

Ist's the Grip2 Damper which make it a great Fork. This is in both the same.

I prefer the Rockshox Lyrik with Charger 2.1 damper myself. But it's a matter of taste

all s-works levo bikes come with a standard 38 factory fork, the non e-bike version

Ebike version came on my S-works. Swapped it for the 160mm anyway.

...a 160mm Air shaft (from the 34, thats maybe the reason why they offer it only with 160mm travel max.) is the cheaper way, but who cares by an S-works ?

I bent my Fox 36 ebike opt. Forks in a bad crash so bought non ebike fox 36 factory ones. I did start a thread " Ebike Optimized Forks Or Not " a few months ago. Anyway they are on and I am very happy with my non Ebike forks. If you look at the pic on the old forks you can see the crease on the bridge joining the lower fork legs.

I don't think that's the reason. Actually didn't undestood what you ment by that.

I prefer E-bike version because it should be stiffer. Can't compare so it's only in my head. I don't see that smaller diameter air spring has lower performance compared to normal 36 mm fork. If then why is it like that?

Still can't stop wondering how damper side internals are taken from 34 mm fork because there is no 34 mm Fox fork with GRIP2 damper. I think 2019 S Works has OEM fork and specs. And they had to made GRIP2 internals matching the smaller inner diameter stanchions. I have made service to my lower legs twice but didn't measure the internal diameters.

By the way I can't see any difference in the picture above with those forks. But I'm half blind anyway...

My OE contact at Fox told me last Spring me that the ebike 36 version was only available for OE production bikes. It has thicker walled steer tube and upper stansions.

I'm about 200 lbs or 91 Kg, and have been riding the standard Fox 36 Performance with black ano uppers and Grip2 dampers, all year with no issues on my 2018 Levo. Nice fork!

Any EU deal on a 29" 160mm 36 factory?
Would have a Black Lyrik Ultimate available for dispatch...

Hello, does anybody know the difference of weight between the Fox Factory 160mm 29',' and the e-bike optimized version of it? The first should weight ca. 2120 grams, but the second? Should I add 200 grams more?

Thinking of putting a 38 fork on my e-bike (Zeb Ultimate?), and moving the Fox 36 e-bike+ on my Trek Slash. Don't know if this is a good idea, I am afraid of the weight...

Thanks!

The e-bike version has 1mm thicker stanchions. The material is thicker. This translates into a stiffer unit. The fork uses 34mm tokens (green) to compensate for the thicker material. The stanchion itself is still 36mm OD.
