ÖHLINS UNVEILS NEW TRAIL FORK RXF36 M.3

January 9, 2025
Öhlins Racing, one of the world’s most respected performance brands, has launched a lightweight and highly progressive mountain bike trail fork fully optimized for demanding, next-level trail riding performance.

The Öhlins new RXF36 m.3 features increased internal bushing overlap and an optimized configuration for 140-160mm travel on 29” wheels (up to 170mm for 27.5”), along with crown offsets of 38, 44, and 51mm. With its updated settings and reduced chassis friction, the fork offers improved sensitivity for greater traction and comfort to conquer any trail.

The RXF36 m.3 fork is the perfect choice for the performance-oriented trail rider. The adjustment range is specifically designed for tough trails and provides 16 clicks of low-speed compression, 3 clicks of high-speed compression, and 16 clicks of rebound adjustment. It features Öhlins' floating axle design for minimal friction and weighs 2050 g (including bolts and axle). The air spring is cartridge-based and can be easily swapped between coil and air if desired.

"The RXF36 platform has evolved since its introduction in 2016, and because it’s so easy to tune, it served as our do-it-all fork for a long time—ranging from short-travel trail bikes to long-travel enduro rigs," said Thomas Westfeldt, Senior Manager of Product Management MTB/AUTO/MC at Öhlins Racing. "As our product line has continued to grow, it was time to give the RXF36 a new chassis, making it a sensitive and predictable trail weapon positioned between the RXF34 and the RXF38."
