Reworked RockShox Pike gets a Charger 2 damper, reduced weight and a new chassis
-
When it was launched in 2013 the RockShox Pike pretty much redefined the trail and all-mountain fork category. But four years is a long time in the fast-moving fork market, and the latest Fox 34 has arguably eclipsed the Pike in performance and price terms, making it high time for an update.
Well here it is, the 2018 RockShox Pike. It gets a new chassis, spring and damper, but the most significant change is actually to the dropout spacing. The company is no longer producing this fork with 100mm spacing — the new Pike is Boost only.

100% GLENDALE GLASSES
When it comes to eyewear, having a large lens not only offers a lot more protection from trail splatter, it puts the frames further out from your field of view, allowing you to focus on the terrain in front of you. The Glendale is absolutely vast, and actually has a lens size akin to a full downhill goggle, so you literally can’t see the top or sides of the frame.

DMR STAGE 2 MTB RAIL SADDLE
DMR's new Stage 2 MTB Rail is one of those new/old products. The shape and construction are identical to the existing Oi Oi saddle, but the company has wrapped it in a new skin and added some harder-wearing reinforcement to the edges. It's also toned down the lairy graphics; this saddle only comes in plain black.
