Pike Air here 🙂
Go for pikes.
Fox Float RLC 140 QR 15 here (bit of a mouthful!).
Much better fork than the Revelation it replaced.
Pikes
how easy are the pike air to set up also what weight
I'll throw my bit in.
Fox Van 32R. I have the older QR version on my Stiffee. Great fork. Very little maintenance/faff (as opposed to my Floats). I also reckon the action on a coil fork is more smooth than my air forks. In my opinion there is no point paying for the Lock out and compression versions unless you are a real fettler.
In summary I'd go for the new 15mm Van 32R
Get some coil u-turn lyriks and wind em down.
i replaced pikes with van 32r qr 15's from mojo, although not quite as stiff they are fantastic forks very plush and great(simple)damping!
in fact i like them so much i bought a pair of van 32rlc qr 15's for my other bike.
running 36 van r on my other bike and like them alot stright forwad no messing, but dont think you can get them in 140mm travel
just looked on mojo web site can get new van 32 with 15mm axle for about £500
Pikes. Been through several forks on the hunt for one- Manitou, Magura and Marzocchi and the Pikes are finally the ones for me. I ran Fox forks on my race bike for half of last season and was very impressed by them if you can afford them.
think its going to be coil pikes 426, seem to have every think i want / lock out, adjustable travel,20mm axle, good reveiws, look the dogs, cheers for the help, now need to save up the candy
