Rockshox Pike 454 Coil U-Turn 140mm-90mm - 2009

Review - Rockshox Pike 454 Coil U-Turn Fork - 2009
We now have the latest 2009 Rockshox Pike Forks in stock,
These forks are by now setting a benchmark for all other Suspension Forks to either beat or try and better, Great onboard adjustabilty with features such as :
U-Turn offering Adjustable travel of anything between 140mm-95mm which can be done on the Fly via the U-Turn Adjustment Controller on the Top of the Fork Crown,
Motion Control Damping - control the Floodgate on the Fork to offer more compression in the stroke ultimately offering a Full Lock out Facility, Again This can be done on the Fly and is located at the Top of the Fork
External Rebound Adjustment - the now legendary Rockshox Hare and Tortoise - Fast and Slow rebound adjustment which basically controls the rate at which the fork returns upwards. This is based on the Lower Left Hand Leg.
The forks also feature the Rockshox Maxxle system which is a fantastic breakthrough in Wheel retention. The system is based on a Oversize QR but offers a lot more rigidity to the Fork when cornering as well as being a much better retention system. The System offers this without all the disadvantage of a 20mm Bolt Thru Front End.
The Forks feature a Hollow Crown and Alloy Steerer Tube and with a claimed manufacturers weight of 5.0lb make these Forks ideal for a Range of Applications.
Having Personally owned several sets of Pike's over the years, These Forks and especially the 454 Coil based version are by far the and Most Use able XC/All Mountain Fork on the Market, The Adjustment, Strength, Range of Use and Value make them a must for any Trail Rider.
