For those who haven't heard. Cool stuff. Kind of fills the hole in their lineup.

Story
"FOX Racing Shox have just sent us details of their next generation long travel trail (did someone say "freeride?") fork. Its called the 36. "This is an interesting product category for the industry, elaborates Mario Galasso (FOX Bike division's head honcho). Its a category of bike that wants to be lightweight, but with the travel the bikes will have, they will be ridden very hard. We designed this fork to the same criteria we designed our new DH fork to. We will offer this fork in thru axle only because we feel QR style dropouts for the combination of intended usage and 8 inch brake rotors is not a sound choice.
The 36 is equipped with TALAS adjustable travel system, allowing the rider to adjust their travel from a capable 110mm all the way through to a monstrous 150mm. An impressive sub-5lb weight has been claimed for the single crown, 1-1/8 steer configuration. Similar to the new FOX DH fork, the 36 will only be available with a stepped 20mm thru-axle which as well as being more big-rotor friendly will allow the lower leg to settle into a lower friction point.
The 36 damper system provides externally adjustable rebound and compression damping. The 36 damper contains several new technologies for us, stated Brian Lampman, Fork Designer for FOX Racing Shox. All we can say about the new system at this point is that it will result in improved performance with intuitive rider interfaces. Not giving much away there then. But even without a ten page exploded diagram of how the insides work it is already clear from the basics that this fork will be a very exciting prospect for those riders out there who want to get burly without paying too much of a weight penalty.
Several lucky FOX racers will be riding and testing The 36 throughout the rest of this summer. Production models will be available in late August
