X-Fusion Goes Longer and Bigger with New Trace 36 Fork

X-Fusion plans to come to market with a 29-inch model, featuring 36mm stanchions, that runs up to 170mm of travel. This new long travel 29er fork comes in either Boost 15 or Boost 20 axle versions, and features a new airspring design that X-Fusion was unable to talk about due to the status of pending patents.

On the damping side, it features X-Fusion's Roughcut damper that has high and low-speed compression adjustments. The fork has a 180mm postmount for a front disc brake and also features mounts for a fender on the rear side of the arch. We were told MarshGuard fenders actually work quite well with the fork because the holes line up allowing you to partially bolt on the fender as opposed to just using zip ties. The fork weighs in right around 2000 grams.
