04 Marzocchi Dj3

The Rockshox bashing thing is getting super old, its just a cool bandwagon to jump on for people who haven't actually ridden boxxers for any length of time. Besides, the new Pike looks dope.

I Digress,

Rog: I have heard nothing but good things about the Pike, but i'm not going to give it the thumbs up til i see some people pound it. 32mm is a plus, along with the U-Turn 90-140 and the remote lockout is a cool feature. QR-20 is a feature i've never been too excited about, but some people like it so i'll keep my mouth shut.

Moto: I have also heard good things about Boxxers in both the past and present, but i have never had the desire to own one. I'd rather pay half as much for a Jr. T that'll do the same job.

Nemesis: The reason that RockShox are easy to lift off the ground is because their damping BLOWS. Doesn't matter how much time you spend tuning the Rebound and Compression on a Psylo, Sid, or any low end model, it will almost always wind up feeling like a pogo stick.

DKadvany: Boxxers are created to be the best of the best, and thus have vitrually uncompromised internals. However, MOST of Rockshox's forks are mareketed to a pricepoint with little regard to quality. I believe that if they spent more time creating forks with less plastic and less sophisticated adjustments to hit their pricepoint, they would have a more loyal following, and do a better job of supporting the sport.

svfreerider87: Werd.


Keep us posted on these Pikes, i want to hear how they hold up.

Ive currently had a pike for about two months now and I love it. Ialso have a Boxxer and I like it too. Sure they weep a little bit and get bashed by some people but all in all they are great forks.

Jr. T's damping feel like a costco fork compared to BOXXER damping... :tired: The Super T. however, works great. a Jr T. could never do the same job of a boxxer... EVER. :23:

I had no intention of comparing a Jr. T to a Boxxer. I know the Boxxer is trick daddy compared to the Jr. T. I was speaking of all the other forks made by rockshox. Take apart a Rockshox compared to a Fox, Manitou, or Marzocchi of the same price point. I guarantee the Rockshox will have more plastic parts than the rest of them combined.
