RockShox Pike RCT3 (2018)


The Pike is already one of our favourite trail forks, and the 2018 version looks even better. It’s got a new ‘DebonAir’ spring, first seen on RockShox’s rear shocks, with a larger negative chamber to improve small-bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support. This is controlled by an updated ‘Charger 2’ damper, with a lower-profile external adjuster that lets you click between three low-speed compression damping modes (‘open’, ‘pedal’ and ‘firm’), the first of which is adjustable. By offering the fork with Boost hub spacing only, RockShox have been able to maintain stiffness while shaving off a claimed 150g.

Price $1238
