Ok, final question on this, (I think)!
Background is that I’m starting from scratch building a Solaris Max, (delivered today – haven’t been able to open the box yet)!
On a typical 20-30 mile ride, realistically 70% ‘could’ be ridden on a gravel bike, 20% very grateful for being on a mountain bike and 10% wahhh-hey!
Budget was £350 for the fork, looking at 120-130mm travel, boost.
I have tracked down (new):
35 Gold 120 for £285
Rockshox Revelation RC 29 130mm Debon Air one-loc – £398
Pike Select 120 – £418
I think I am ruling the Gold out, partly because it is 2.5kg vs. 1.9 for the other two, partly because of some of the comments here.
I like the idea of the one-loc on the Revelation and it’s a bit nearer to the budget….but it’s the old motion control whereas the Pike Select is the charger (not charger 2).
Soooo…..take the pain on the budget and go for the Pike – or would the Revelation be just fine for my 10% moments…?
