Not ridden Fox a good few years but the ultimate is a noticeable jump in performance over the normal pike. It’s a very sorted fork. More supple the LSC is very noticeable/usable and very nice fork gotta say.
Having said that I also run a 2019 pike to and that’s a great fork and more available in the sales or offers options on line. Real questions are, is it worth the extra £ for the ultimate and do you think you’d really notice the performance difference? A couple of years ago I’d of said no I don’t think I would of! But two years for crap tendons in both arm, operations and now arthritis in both thumbs I’m a bit more tuned in to a supple nice working front end!
Not that would of stopped me a few years ago I’d still have wanted the new fork on the block😂
