Rock Shox Pike Ultimate Charger™ 3 RC2 DebonAir+™ MTB Suspension Fork

The Pike Ultimate is a top-of-the-range model of Rock Shox’s Signature Series and the first choice for all fans of the traditional US American manufacturer who seek maximum performance with intuitive handling and easy adjustability.

It combines the powerful DebonAir+™ suspension, newly developed for the 2023 model year, with the also newly developed Charger™ 3 RC2 damping and its separately adjustable high- and low-speed compression damping and low-speed rebound damping. The Rock Shox ButterCups™ on the underside of the damping cartridge and airshaft also filter up to 20% of the high-frequency vibrations of everyday trail use. In other words, the Lyrik Ultimate significantly reduces hand and arm fatigue, so you feel fresher for longer and have more control.

Naturally, the revised Pike also relies on the proven Maxima Plush oil to reduce the internal friction of the high-quality Rock Shox suspension fork and thereby guarantee a consistently smooth suspension performance.
Thus, the mountain bike fork for all-mountain and trail riding offers not only high sensitivity, but also a reliable, long travel, while providing lots of grip in rock gardens and root-riddled sections.

A robust magnesium casting and strong 35 mm upper tubes give the Pike Select enough stiffness for fast direction changes and high stability. Thus, the fork is a trail-eating precision tool that allows you to precisely hit any line.

Details:
• Robust 35mm chassis that is at home on the trail - very stiff, playful and as lightweight as possible
• The Charger 3 damping cartridge features an Internal-Floating-Piston (IFP) design that provides more consistency throughout the stroke Independent settings improve control without influencing each other. With the high-speed compression stage (HSC), the low-speed compression stage (LSC) and the revised low-speed rebound stage (LSR), every click is noticeable
• ButterCups™ filter up to 20% of high-frequency vibrations. This significantly reduces hand and arm fatigue (e.g. arm pump)
• The DebonAir+™ air spring is designed to strike the perfect balance between what riders really want: buttery responsiveness, more support throughout the travel, and a fork that stands taller in the travel, for more confidence when the going gets steep
• The "Ultimate Bushing" package maximises the overlap of the bushings, reduces friction and ensures the best possible handling
• Pressure Relief Valves eliminate unwanted air pressure build-up in the casting caused by altitude or temperature fluctuations. With the push of a button, the valves ensure rapid pressure equalisation directly on the trail
• RockShox Maxima Plush damping fluid for reduced friction and improved response
• Screw-in torque cap adapters for easier wheel assembly when used with standard hub end caps
• Lightweight, milled and anodised fork crown
• Bottomless Tokens
• Compatible with Torque Caps
• Maxle Stealth thru axle
