RockShox’s last generation forks had some awesome features and a ton of promise but construction and damping issues meant they didn’t always deliver on the trail. Now better bushing QC, a completely remapped Charger 3.1 damper and tweaked air spring on the new Pike creates a far more fluid, adjustable mountain bike fork. Add best in class stiffness and it’s potentially a new benchmark for flat out fast performance and chaos control in the mid-weight, mid-travel fork space. You’ll need to invest more time on setup to find that sweet spot though.
