CONCLUSION For a fair 916 euros, the Pike is still one of the best forks in the enduro segment. Light, stiff and relatively easy to handle thanks to simple compression damping. Even with the compression damping open, the Pike has a firm setup and is solid in its travel. However, it is not as comfort-orientated as the Formula. It hits the block hard when bottoming out.
