RockShox’s Pike is the trail fork that does a bit of everything, and the Ultimate C2 is its top version. This one is set up for 29" wheels with 130mm of travel and a 44mm offset, in Ultimate Gloss Black.

Highlights

• Charger 3.1 RC2 damper with high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound adjustment
• DebonAir+ air spring with ButterCups to reduce trail vibration
• 130mm travel, 29" wheel, 44mm offset
• 35mm aluminium upper tubes, magnesium lowers, machined and anodised crown
• Boost 15x110 Maxle Stealth; bolt-in Torque Cap adapters for standard hubs
• eBike approved (E-MTB decal); short bolt-on mudguard included

Damper and spring

Charger 3.1 RC2 gives a wider adjustment range than before, with less compression damping in the open low-speed setting and more support with high-speed compression closed. ButterCups in the damper and spring absorb high-frequency chatter; RockShox says they block 20% of it. DebonAir+ aims for a supple start to the stroke with more mid-stroke support, and Bottomless Tokens let you tune end-stroke ramp-up.

Low friction

RockShox uses SKF wiper seals, Maxima Plush suspension lube and an updated bushing package to cut friction from new.

Compatibility and fit

Needs a 1.5" tapered head tube, a Boost 110mm front hub (Torque Cap or standard, using the included adapters) and a disc rotor from 180mm to 220mm. Axle-to-crown is 541mm; check your frame’s geometry before changing travel or offset. Maximum rider-plus-bike weight is 150kg. We recommend workshop fitting so the steerer is cut and the fork set up correctly.
