RockShox Pike RCT3 Solo Air 29er Forks Forks

Product Description

The completely reimagined Pike is the fork thats ushering in a new era in suspension performance. All-new PIKE is completely different type of trail fork. One that meant walking all over the current engineering doctrine along the way. The Pike is designed specifically for new-school trail riders. Its new damper rides high in the travel where it’s the plushest. Its industry redefining asymmetric approach to chassis design delivers an unparalleled stiffness to travel to weight ratio that will have other engineers playing catch up for years. Charger Damper Performance focused No compromise for lockout: The efficiency circuits (Pedal & Lock) sit behind the performance damping, meaning no sacrifice in bump performance for shredding downhill while keeping the ability to maintain pedaling stability for those leg burning climbs. Rapid Recovery: More control with less energy. Bladder Charged Extruded bladder design is insanely durable, resists damping change during extended downhills & has virtually zero pressure offset for small bump sensitivity. Trail Tuned RCT3 – Designed for riders looking for more bump gobbling performance. The new RCT3 damper features three distinct knob positions – Open, Threshold & Lock. The rider is able to quickly & easily access these three modes to manipulate damping performance for specific terrain: Open for bump-gobbling performance Threshold for efficiency & moderate bump compliance Lock for ultimate pedaling efficiency In addition to its three distinct modes, RCT3 features an independent adjustment of low speed compression. Solo Air Solo Air is like a Buddhist monk. Its enlightened design lets you add air to your forks through a single Schrader valve, filling both the positive & negative air spring chambers simultaneously. So they’re always in perfect equilibrium, like Yin & Yang. Giving you a plush, predictable ride you can set up in seconds, with the lightest weight air spring on the market. Rapid Recovery Who doesnt want more available wheel travel for successive hits? The Rapid Recovery System allows the shock to recovery faster between consecutive bumps, letting the wheel track the ground with greater precision. This more active suspension system, doesn’t pack up & enables the bike to ride in a higher & softer part of the spring rate. Rapid Recovery gives the rider access to more available wheel travel, bump after bump, to achieve a smoother & more controlled ride. Power Bulge When you need your forearms to be stronger for more control, you bulk them up in the gym. When you need more durability from your fork, bulk them up with our Power Bulge. Other companies just increase the stanchion size adding extra weight. Power Bulge simply reinforces the lower leg to allow for an oversized bushing, increasing stiffness & maximizing your ride. Maxle Lite 15mm Who obsesses over the weight of their wheel axles? It’s ridiculous, right? It’s just a rod of metal bolting the wheels to your bike. But then again, Maxle Lite is a nifty thru axle system that makes your bike both lighter & stiffer. & less weight makes it easier to get your bike to do what you want. Especially when you don’t need to bring tools to remove it, front or rear. & that extra stiffness gives you the precision to hit your lines no matter how burly. So maybe that obsession isn’t so ridiculous after all.
