0:07
already hi this is chips from single
0:09
track magazine I'm here with the
0:12
2020 it's that soon already 2020 Pike
0:16
ultimate from Rock shocks um it's not
0:20
the pike as such as that it's new the
0:23
ultimate range is a new name for rock
0:27
shocks and it's a way of uh explaining
0:30
the tears of quality through their
0:32
suspension range so whereas before it
0:35
was a bit confusing as to whether you
0:38
rc2 something other whether it was
0:41
better than something else they've now
0:43
got ultimate Select Plus and select in
0:47
terms of a uh like a good better best
0:51
thing with ultimate being the top uh
0:53
we've seen these being teased out on
0:55
social media from Rock shock sponsored
1:02
Forks there a lyric a pike and a
1:09
boxer all with the this new uh family so
1:14
ultimate is the top end and then we've
1:18
got uh Select Plus and select so we have
1:23
ultimate what they've changed uh is sort
1:27
of everything and nothing really the the
1:30
is the same but the charger damper which
1:33
is already pretty popular has been
1:35
upgraded by 0.1 so now it's the charger
1:39
2.1 uh and what rock shocks has done is
1:42
they've uh changed the seal on the shaft
1:46
so that it moves uh moves easier they've
1:50
adjusted the highs speeded and low speed
1:51
compression so that the high-speed
1:54
compression has been softened a little
1:57
so that it will uh react quicker and
2:01
should remove some of that harsh Trail
2:03
Buzz that you feel through your hands
2:04
that ties your hands out and then the
2:07
lowre adjustment uh Lo breed compression
2:10
has been adjusted so that the fork will
2:13
sit higher in its travel uh so you're
2:15
not blowing through all the travel uh on
2:18
in corners or on on successive bumps and
2:20
the fork returns to to a usable length
2:23
so that it's ready for the next hit uh
2:27
that's the charger damper in here also
2:30
the seals are now uh SKF seals obviously
2:34
a company well known for making top
2:36
quality seals the wiper seals are uh as
2:41
good at sealing as the previous seals
2:42
but they now have less drag on the on
2:45
the stanions which again will help with
2:48
suppleness uh the fork itself hasn't
2:52
particularly changed apart from visually
2:55
uh apart from that we've got these very
2:57
flash Chrome deal here uh the fork will
3:00
come in Black uh piano black they're
3:03
calling it uh very high gloss black
3:06
there's a high gloss red and then
3:09
there's a very uh fetching shiny silver
3:12
finish as well with black deal uh
3:16
definitely uh makes the fork stand out
3:19
and this will be coming in as I said the
3:21
range of the the top tier Forks in the
3:25
Rock shocks range so the pike Trail Fork
3:30
um sort of free riding Duro Fork the
3:33
boxer downhill race fork and the Sid
3:36
which is the cross country race Fork uh
3:39
and the Sid carbon and the Sid uh normal
3:43
both get ultimate versions as well so
3:46
from now on you should be able to tell
3:49
where your fork sits in the range
3:50
whether it's ultimate Select Plus or
3:53
select uh these are all supposedly
3:56
chipping right now so you should start
4:00
these Forks appear on bikes and in bike
4:03
shops very soon the charger damper
4:06
charger 2.1 is going to be available
4:08
separately uh for people that want to
4:11
upgrade their existing Forks um and the
4:15
forks as I said available now they'll
4:18
come in this particular Fork Pike will
4:20
come in 27 29 and in two different
4:24
offsets as well so there should be
4:27
something for everyone the travel will
4:30

4:34
sizes so lots to choose from so that
4:38
