popcorn_skollie Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Nope, it's like a Lyrik for the people Same chassis as the lyrik, so stiffer than the Pike. Ya ek lees nou.But more importantly.WHO AROUND HERE HAS ONE?
Matchstix Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Stick to a 130mm on the thunderbolt. Also check the warranty policy regarding max fork length.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Okay - so max fork travel is 130mm, and that's what the BC Edition has. Not 140 as I thought.

Myth Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 Awesomeness, now all i need to get is a quote from LBS on a revelation and a pike in 130mm. Then see what i can afford...really hoping the Pike is in my price range..though I doubt it... I did look at the Yari when i looked on the RS website, but saw it was perhaps overkill for my use...(in fact I think it will take a long time for me to even start to use or appreciate a Pike fully).

I did look at the Yari when i looked on the RS website, but saw it was perhaps overkill for my use...(in fact I think it will take a long time for me to even start to use or appreciate a Pike fully).I run a Pike at 130mm on a 125mm trail bike. It is confidence inspiring and I get nowhere near the limits of the fork. Can recommend without reservation. If I had to be honest, for my level of riding, a Revelation would be more than overkill. HOWEVER: This morning the Pike saved my under-skilled ass. Again. I'm not saying that a Revelation would not do the same, though. Both are brilliant forks.

But not sure if it can run at 130mm...

Pike should be around the R16k mark (DVO the same)Rev R11k
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Pike should be around the R16k mark (DVO the same)Rev R11kAnd is the Pike worth the extra 5k? IMO - no. Not at that travel.

Matchstix Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Check the hub classifieds think there was a 130mm revelation for sale
