RockShox Pike 454 2009

JohnMartin

Was wondering if these would suit my Rockhopper Comp, i do local trails at the moment, but would be tackling xc at some point.

Are they any good?

Cheers

Good forks, but not on a rockhopper. Far too long in the longerst travel setting, and are a tougher fork than the xc frame that the hopper is.

Great fork and you could, but it'd be a waste of a good fork and money unless you were radically planning on changing your riding. Rockhopper is designed for 100mm travel forks and is a sweet racey XC bike with decent Tora fork to go with it, ideal for what you're doing or planning on doing. Pike 454 U-Turn has travel from 95 - 140 and Maxle 20mm axle and built for BIG stuff.

Unless you are very heavy, a Reba would be better, and are often found cheaper.
