Is RockShox pike a good fork?
The RockShox Pike Ultimate is a fan favorite due to its reliability and versatility. It can handle your cross country and light trail needs, while also being a great fork for the bike park or DH trails.
Are all bike forks the same size?
The traditional standard has long been 1 1/8” but some modern bikes feature larger 1.5” head tubes or even tapered versions, where the diameter of the tube at the bottom (1.5”) is larger than at the top (1 1/8”) , so you’ll need a fork with a tapered steerer tube to match.
How do you know if a fork will fit your bike?
The main thing you need to look for is the steerer size. Most Mtb headtube is 1.1/8″, a few are 1.5″ or the combo of the two, tapered steerer. So as long as the fork is 1.1/8″ you are good to go.
Is the RockShox Sid Worth It for cross country racing?
