Date Reviewed: March 31, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Good looks and should be able to take the knocks. | | Weaknesses: | Not getting the full 140 travel. Seems to be maxing at 130. Doing the national downhill tracks / no big jumps but give them a fair thrashing. I originally had to take them back to the shop @5 times due to oil leaking from the rebound adjustment. The leaking oil was only the oil that is used to splash around the internal chamber to stop rusting however it was more of the principle and the fact that they were a new shock & should not have leaked at all.
Recommended/standard spring is at the lower end of my weight however they still feel very stiff. | | Bottom Line: | Toss up between the Pikes or Fox however these won through due to being way cheaper.
Also i've had Rock Shox in the past and loved them.

Date Reviewed: March 10, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | Latigo Cyn | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$300.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Warrior | | Strengths: | Smooth travel, easy to change travel length, Stiff, small bump sensitivity, big hit absorbsion, Maxle thru axle quick release. | | Weaknesses: | A little heavy, travel not adjustable while riding | | Similar Products Used: | Marzocchi, Fox | | Bike Setup: | '08 Intense 5.5, Pike 426 140mm, '08 Shimano XT group, Mavic rims, Juicy 5 brakes, Nevegal tires | | Bottom Line: | I was looking for a fork that could bomb downhill ( no major jumbs), climb well, corner well and not be too heavy. I have used Marzocchi for years and really liked them but could not find something that fit my needs and the Mfg max travel, in their new product line. I have not used Rockshox in years, (old Judy '98) The Pike met my criteria. This fork works very well, stays online when things get rough, point and shoot. It carves turns and is well matches with the Fox RP23 on the back. It is easy to adjust travel, when stopped, with a few twists of the knob. The short travel helps a ton climbing steep technical hills and still offers travel, it is not a lock out. I have no trouble with it or complaints except it is a bit heavy.
