What style of riding is the Pike suitable for and how does it compare to the Reba?

    the reba is more XC than Pike that is more AM dies to the 20mm axle but the internals are the same.

    Pike should be able to take bigger hits than the Reba, as Nick says more XC for the Reba, its also lighter too.

    Pike is an awesome fork, as I'm sure the Reba is but I have the Pike so can 100% vouch for it.

    The Pike can be used for everything, from XC to AM to FR.
    If I'm doing XC with my Dart 2 that weights 2400g, than I don't see any reason
    why you couldn't use the lighter Pike for XC, especialy the U-turn's.

    It's not suitable only for XC racing.

    The Pike in all it's guises is a fantastic fork, they're tough as old boots and stiff as you like.

    If you get one with an alloy steerer they're not exactly heavy either
