DanielJhb Posted February 17, 2015 Share I'm upgrading the fork on my 2014 trance, is it worth splashing out on a Pike or will a revelation be good enough? I weigh around 70kgs for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted February 17, 2015 Share Revelation will be a HUGE step up from the Fox that's on there. If your budget can stretch a Pike will be an even greater step up. Maybe consider getting a Revelation and spend the balance on a DBInline shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyB Posted February 17, 2015 Share As a matter of interest, what sort of riding do you do most of the time? I just went from Fox Evo to Revelation....so far its flippin awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted February 17, 2015 Share spend the balance on a DBInline shock. ...and the rest of your money on fixing the DBInline on a regular basis. The rest of what Iwan has said I agree with, if you've been used to the Fox that's on there, you'll love the Revelation. Pikes are incredible forks, but you need to be pushing pretty damn hard to justify running one over a Revelation. I have both in my garage, the Revelation is an awesome fork for 90% of scenarios.

Goblin Posted February 17, 2015 Share haven't used a revelation but upgrade from a fox 36 to a pike.Pike is brilliant.Didn't think there was much wrong with the fox until it broke, but the difference in feel between the two is massive. If you go with the pike you wont regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawbs Posted February 17, 2015 Share do Revelations come with OD2 steerer shaft or do you need a kit or something to fit them ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted February 17, 2015 Share Standard tapered headset. 1 1/8 to 1 1/2 - So you will need the top bits from a tapered set to make it fit... I would think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawbs Posted February 17, 2015 Share so does it mean you need a different TOP bearing ( 1-1/8th ) and then also a new stem ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Shore Posted February 17, 2015 Share I've had the revelation RCT3 140mm on my stumpjumper for a month as a replacement for the Fox Float and I couldn't be happier. If I was going 150mm (especially 29") then I would lean to the Pike, otherwise the revelation has been fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gozzi24 Posted February 17, 2015 Share HI GuysI have the 2015 Trance with the Fox float. I heard there was a difference with the 2014 and 2015 Fox forks. Anyone know more about this?So far the fork is serving me well, but I don't know any better. Ignorance is bliss....I have looked at upgrading, but only because I want a little more travel and thicker upper tube.All my googling has come up with similar info as posted above, the pikes seem to be top dog.

DanielJhb Posted February 18, 2015 Share Can someone possibly explain what will be necessary to install a rev on the 2014 trance? Does the OD2 make it difficult/more expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
