Pike is an ultra-versatile, super capable, lightweight fork, heavy on the attitude.
This fork is not afraid of rooty chutes and is unintimidated by calf-crushing climbs. This trail-capable legend has been updated with the new Charger 3.1 RC2 damper. Along with vibration-killing ButterCups, this damper offers better traction, comfort, and control. With more tunable range, Charger 3.1 enables riders to set up the perfect suspension action for their preferences. This fork is designed to level up your trail game.
Charger 3.1 is an evolution of a proven damper platform, meeting the demands of the world’s best riders. With increased damping range and High Speed Compression, Low Speed Compression, and Low Speed Rebound adjustments, Charger 3.1 smooths out the roughest trails. Charger 3.1 RC2’s adjustment range is broader, with less compression damping in the LSC open position and additional support in the HSC closed position, providing the traction, control, and comfort needed to charge dicey lines all day.
A new bushing package further reduces friction with an updated factory process, giving riders a better feel right out of the box. Maxima Plush Dynamic Suspension Lube reduces friction, lasts longer, and enhances suspension performance ride after ride. Maxima Plush Fluid is designed to protect from suspension wear, reduce friction, and silence damper noise while maintaining a consistent feel in all temperatures.
SKF, a high-performance seal manufacturer, provides ultra-low friction wiper seals for less fatigue and unmatched suspension feel, keeping dirt out.
Features:
- ButterCups block 20% of high-frequency “trail chatter”, limiting vibrations to massively reduce hand and arm fatigue, leaving you feeling fresh with more control.
- DebonAir+ air spring is built to strike the perfect balance of what riders really want: a butter-like small bump feel, increased air volume to add support throughout the travel, and higher overall ride height for more confidence when things get steep.
- Bolt-in torque cap adapters are now included for use with standard hub end caps.
- Lightweight machined and anodized crown for premium looks and durability.
- Ultra-low friction SKF wiper seals provide long lasting fork performance and improve overall suspension feel.
- Short fender compatibility (RockShox fender included).
- Bottomless Tokens allow you to easily custom tune your air-spring performance to best match your riding style and suspension preference.
- BOOST is the standard wheel and drivetrain specification that opens the opportunity for improved frame geometry with shorter chain stays, wider and stiffer suspension pivots, wider range of chainring options, as well as more clearance for bigger tires and wider, stiffer wheels.
- Torque Caps make the bond between hub and fork dropout stronger, with an increased surface area connecting the two. This creates a stronger, stiffer interface, giving you a more responsive front wheel and more control.
