BIKE SET-UP
Setting Compression Damping on the Fox 36 Grip 2 Forks
• To set compression, start from the open (or fastest) position by turning the black
(LSC) dial & blue (HSC) dial counterclockwise until they stop clicking.
• A good starting point for most riders is to turn the black (LSC) dial clockwise 5 clicks
& turn the blue (HSC) dial clockwise 2 clicks.
• The recommended starting points may need to be adjusted based on rider weight.
Lighter riders may prefer less compression damping (fewer clicks from open).
Setting Rebound Damping on the Fox 36 Forks
• Remove the protective cover over the rebound knobs on the lower fork leg.
• To set rebound, start from the open (or fastest) position by turning the red rebound
dial(s) on the bottom of the right fork leg counterclockwise until it stops clicking. On
the Fox 38 Grip 2 there are two dials. One for high speed and one for low speed.
• Refer to the chart below for the recommended settings when setting rebound. Fox
clicks are in parentheses.

Recommended Tire Pressure
• Tire pressure is an important factor on having the bike ride properly. If the tire pressure is too high, the tire
will not conform to ground, reducing traction. If the tire pressure is too low, the tire could pinch flat.
• It is important to have an accurate pressure gauge when setting tire pressure; preferably a digital gauge
with a 0.03 [bar] (0.5 [psi]) accuracy.
• The recommended tire pressure will vary slightly based on rider weight, riding style, and terrain.
• Some riders may find it helpful to start a ride at a slightly higher pressure than recommended and let out a
little air throughout the course of the ride until you find your ideal riding tire pressure.

Setting Compression Damping on the Fox 36 Grip Forks
• We always start with the lever in the full open position. Most riders will not need to
make any changes from this position.
• If you do need more compression support, the lever will provide a low speed
compression adjustment until the lever is turned halfway.
• Fully closed provides a nearly locked out feel for climbing.
