[wepat]

Hi Hubbers,

 

what is the going price for a new RS Pike 120MM fork or what price could I get a good second hand one for .I ride a Carbon Camber and have heard great things of the PIKE and I know its fitted to the S-Works Camber

 

Cheers

You're looking at about R 10k.

 

To my understanding, the Pike isn't available standard in 120mm, but can be lowered.

Closer to 12k for 2015 model.

 

Really expensive but hands down one of or the best fork around.

Probikeshop, Bike24, and CRC are all around the 9k mark (before VAT, shipping etc).

 

As for adjusting the travel, I would check on that. As far as I know the Pike cannot have the travel internally adjusted because it uses the Charger cartridge system (not like the DNA one that most other RS forks like the Reba, Revelation, Lyrik, etc use). Hence why they offer models in 10mm travel increments. But like I said, check on the possiblity of internal adjustment. I may be wrong.

 

Guessing that your Camber is a 29er, the Pike options are: 160mm, 150mm, 140mm, and an adjustable 150-120mm (the Dual Position model).

Is it worth it getting the dual air pike?would like to replace the fox forks on my trance 2.riding my trance up till now I have never felt the need to reduce the travel even on some of the steeper climbs.i would like to replace the fox forks with 160mm pikes but don't wanna get the dual air versions if I'm never gonna use it

[IKMagine]

The Pike's travel is not adjustable and comes in 150mm / 160mm for 26" & 27'5" and in 140mm / 150mm for 29"

 

If you're not one to drop the fork on the climbs, I'd say no need for the Dual Position Air.  It drops the height by about 30mm.

But note that the difference between the 160mm Pike and you 140mm Fox might just be noticeable when climbing.  Perhaps consider the 150mm - the ride will still be way better than on the Fox.

Just FYI, Giant will not honor any frame warranty if you put a longer travel fork on the frame.

[Inv3rt]

Would they not honor the warrenty?what about the trance sx?that comes with a 160mm fork as standard .i think the 150 pike on trance would be the best .i think 160 on the front and 140 on the back would make the bike out of balance

Yip,  they can be very sticky that way unfortunately.

I've bought a new bike last week with a pike fork.  On 650B it only comes in a 160mm, mine has been spaced to 130mm to match the rear travel on my frame.

 

On the 29" version you can choose between a 160mm and a 140mm model.

 

Was part of the whole bike build, so not sure what discount has been given, but it came in just under 11k.

Here's a spacing guide for the Pike,

 

 

But as you can see from the guide, the difference between lets say, a 140, 150, and 160mm 27.5" Pike is actually different air cartridges, not just spacers, like Revelations and Rebas use.

 

Also, there is a 26" Pike DJ available in 100mm and 140mm.

 

Bike 24 stock pretty much the full range

got mine for just over R8k brand new, landed. at my doorstep. 

I dont think forex has changed that much to push it over R10k, much less up to R12k. All depends on which overseas store you shop from.

[EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE]

New 140mm Pike RCT3 Solo Air Black and Tapered will be R12k.

Great prices there!

@wepat, The Sworks does not come with a Pike. The Camber Evo comes with a pike.( & slightly different geometry)

 

I would also love a Pike.

Sheesh its been a bad few months or I'd be onto that Bike Discount Pike like a hawk...
