  • Advice needed – PIKES 150 or 160

    Looking to buy a set of pikes for a 2014 Orange five pro 650B. Will probably go for single air.

    Big question is do I go for 150 or 160 travel. Current forks are Fox Float 34 Factory Kashima FIT (which I’ll be selling once the Pikes are on) and the shock is a Fox Float Factory CTD Kashima.

    Not sure if 160 will be too much travel, will it upset the handling of the bike? Should I just stick with 150 as that’s what’s already there? What are the benefits of having an extra 10mm on this bike?

    Thanks in advance!

    Good luck in finding a 160mm atm – reckon this might make the decision for you

    If it helps orange list a fork up to 150 on their website and the pike upgrade option is a 150.

    Bike discount.de

    My 26″ 160mm pikes came from Bike Discount.de in Germany. They took about a day longer to arrive than the usual suspects but were about £75 cheaper.

    They seem to have 150, 160mm travel awailable (see what I did there) in dual and solo flavours.

    Brilliant fork by the way. You won’t regret either.
