Pike 454 U-turn or Nixon Elite RTWD

[reignrider]

Alright, I have a 2005 Giant Reign 1 with a Swinger 3 way in the rear and have up/downgraded to a 2005 Nixon Elite (coil sprung) with wind down travel. I'm debating if I should put on a Pike 454 U-turn with 5mm less travel, or stick with the Nixon which feels pretty damn good right now. Thoughts?

If it feels damn good then stick with what you got,when your ready for an upgrade,get a fox.

Yeah, I've had a pike 426 on my hardtail jumper/4x bike until i broke my collar bone. Feels pretty damn good, so I was debating if I wanted to go with pike's all around because I was going to build up a new wheelset with some white syncros rims with some phil woods. Chris King HD 20mm/bolt on hubs w/717s on my jumper and some white Phil Wood's 20mm/QR so all my wheelsets are compatible. Thanks guys for your input
