Need a new fork


Storm 78

I am looking to replace my fork on the vipa with a 120mm one. Either a Reba or fox 34. I am buying a pyga stage frame later the year. So my intention is to get something that would be suited to the stage rather than the vipa.

Is the Vipa rated to take a 120mm fork ?

 

If not you may end up snapping your head tube long before you buy the stage.

 

And A warranty means nothing if you run the bike with A fork it was not designed to take.

 

Other wise A fox 34 or A Pike should do very nicely

Yes. It can handle a 120mm fork. The frame is past it warranty period anyway.

Cool , I'd personally go for the Pike but the 34 is still A fantastic fork.

I recently bought a 120mm Pike for my Camber. So worth it and definably one of the best upgrades I could ever have made on that bike. The Reverb dropper is a close second. Go Pike, you won't regret it.

The Yari is also something to check out. Kinda like a budget Pike. Somewhere between the Pike an Revelation

Yari is a very nice fork, kinda feels like the Revelation in terms of damping but with the stiffness of a Fox 34 or Pike. If the choice was between Pike or Yari I would go Pike, but between a Yari and Fox 34 the Fox would win. Have spent alot of time on the Fox 34 (on my stumpy) and the Yari (on a Turbo Levo), and the Fox just feels more plush and consistent when the going gets rough...

 

Thw Pike puts both to shame though (in my humble opinion).
