Overview
The RXF36 m.3 features an all-new chassis built around the race-proven TTX18 cartridge. This lightweight and highly progressive fork is fully optimized for demanding, next-level trail riding performance. Our race-winning TTX18 damping technology from the DH38 Race Fork has been adapted to deliver its renowned top-tier traction and control on the most demanding trails. With increased internal bushing overlap and reduced chassis friction, the fork offers improved sensitivity for greater traction and comfort to conquer any trail.
Features
Race-proven TTX18 damping technology adapted from the DH38 Race Fork delivers renowned top-tier traction and control on demanding trails.
16 clicks of low-speed compression, 3 clicks of high-speed compression, and 16 clicks of rebound adjustment for precise tuning.
Increased internal bushing overlap and optimized configuration for 140–160mm of travel on 29" wheels (up to 170mm for 27.5").
New surface treatment on stanchions reduces friction, boosts small-bump sensitivity, and enhances overall ride smoothness.
Retuned twin-piston, three-chamber air-spring system allows complete dial-in of progression from initial movement through bottom-out.
Cartridge-based air spring allows easy swaps between coil and air setups when desired.
Reduced chassis friction and floating 15×110mm axle design minimize friction for ultra-sensitive tracking over small bumps.
36mm stanchion tubes provide the optimal balance of stiffness and weight for aggressive trail riding.
Crown offsets available in 38mm, 44mm, and 51mm to match various frame geometries.
Updated lowers feature gloss black finish with bold new graphics for unmistakable presence on the trail.
Race-proven settings bank provides multiple tuning options for different terrains and riding styles.
