#4: Fox 36 Series (Enduro/AM)

Not surprisingly, Fox’s 36 Series makes an appearance in our survey at #4. This is Fox’s enduro fork, and the 36 Series lays claim to back-to-back Enduro World Series Men’s and Women’s championships. Fox offers up to 180mm of travel (26er only) in the 36 Series, while most of the forks in the series are offered at 160mm. And unlike the newer 32- and 34-Series forks, Fox sells 36-Series forks with FLOAT or TALAS air springs. Starting weight for the 27.5 fork is 1986g.

Like the 34 Series, Fox offers a Pedelec Speed, eMTB-optimized 36-Series fork with 160mm of travel. Among Singletracks members who voted for the Fox 36 Series, the most popular version is the 160mm FLOAT fork.
