Hey,

just wondering if there’s much gain in using an air pike over the coil in terms of weight?

I like my coil pikes, but might change them for air pikes if there’s a noticeable difference? If it just comes down to a small amount I won’t bother.

Thoughts ?

Cheers

btw, knees ain’t perfect so looking at loosing a little weight on the bike if pos… otherwise I wouldn’t be bothered 🙂

If you happy with coil stay with them. 🙂
you’ll not get a air fork that feels like your coil without spending a fair bit of money.

Im happy with the feel of them, would replace them with the same fork, but air. If they save a good amount of weight. Otherwise I won’t waste my time 🙂

about 1/2lb by the sound of it, that is 220grams. i.e **** all

IRC they are about 300 grams lighter.

Coil Pike are pretty heavy, but a very nice fork, Air pikes are still pretty plush (the dual air helps) but not as smooth as coils

LoL ninja edit there Rich!!
*cough 500 cough*

300 grams…. not really worth it then eh…

226grms – ish 😆
