I've had nothing but good experiences with Fox. Buy the fox.

pike 454 kause its air and the stiffness is adjustable and they ride really smooth. vanillas are nice too but they dont have the air valve. if you can afford the 454 go for it

Do you already have a front wheel?The pike is a 20mm through axle,the fox is QR unless your talking about the vanilla 36?I like fox personally but i hear good things about the pikes too.

I had both Pike and Fox. Based on my personal experience, I would go with Fox.

Peace,

oohhhhhhhh!!! u were talking about a 36! if ur going with the 36 vanillas are awesome.... but the float would be nice for a heckler too

no i was talkin about the 32 mm vanilla rlc b.c i had a 36 van before and it was good for stuff like carlmont but when i had to climb or ride a long distance it sucked
