As I understand it.Same fork aren't they less the charger damper?
Someone told me different grade material in lowers, I don’t believe it.

Actually, I’m thinking of the mattoc pro V expert, sorry.Must have been a Sram employee!
I have a Pike and a Yari but haven’t bothered checking what the difference is between the 2 chassis’. Now yhat the Revelation is also 35mm I assume it is a Pike with a lower spec damper?Actually, I’m thinking of the mattoc pro V expert, sorry.
I believe they weight is shaved, but still has the charger damper.I have a Pike and a Yari but haven’t bothered checking what the difference is between the 2 chassis’. Now yhat the Revelation is also 35mm I assume it is a Pike with a lower spec damper?
Agree with this.I don't really like the idea of spending close to a Grand on a fork and then blowing more money on upgrades. You can do a lot with a fork by doing a proper service on it and using good quality lubricants. I know with Manitou forks if you use crappy lubricants in them, they end up functioning horribly.
Op has already sold the Pike.Stick a debonaire air shaft in your pike if you don't already have one. An inexpensive upgrade that will help with small bump compliance.
I've got an SD components DVC on my Diamond and it works well, it essentially does the same thing as a MRP ramp control.Agree with this.
That's why I'm looking for something that gives me the most tunability without spending more money or get a second hand fork and upgrading to an avalanche or something along those lines.
Does anyone have experience wuth the SD components upgrades?

Don’t really agree. In the past maybe...but mine went to Dougal at shockcraft for love, almost straight off the bat.I don't really like the idea of spending close to a Grand on a fork and then blowing more money on upgrades.

Yep, got one on a 140mm Pike 29er and it’s great. I’m a fat bastard (approx 100kg kitted up) and found I either got sore hands or blew through the travel. Plush as now.Agree with this.

It was more of a “just saying” answer, not necessarily aimed at the opOp has already sold the Pike.
I'd gladly grab another XF fork with a ramp control unit. It'd be pretty hard to beat in terms of value, I just wish there was a way to improve the initial break away stroke, if I could get a pre-load negative coil spring solution it'd be cool.I've got an SD components DVC on my Diamond and it works well, it essentially does the same thing as a MRP ramp control.
If you want good tuneability it's really hard to go past a Mattoc Pro. It comes with hsc and lsc out of the box and the IRT upgrade allows you to tweak air spring ramp up. If you need more of a plow fork then the Suntour Durolux or X-fusion Metric is the next most cost effective option with hsc and lsc. Getting a secondhand Pike or Yari and upgrading the cartridge to an Fast, Avalanche or CRConception is going to cost $1300 minimum. Which is almost the cost of a Diamond, Fox 36 or Lyrik.

How would you determine the fork tune for a new bike?Ideally you should be able to buy different types of tune off the shelf when getting a new fork and have more adjustment knobs to play with.
I understand why it's not done and I suppose vast majority of people are happy with the fork that came with the bike and don't wanna take the time to learn how it works and how to set it up to get the best ride possible
