Source: RockShoxJumps are getting bigger, tricks are evolving further, and the slopestyle and dirt jumping crowd needs a fork that facilitates this progression. Enter Pike DJ: little brother to the award winning Pike. With the stout 35mm chassis, it's light enough to boost higher, and stiff enough to shred berms harder. Available in 100mm and 140mm travel versions. The custom tuned Charger damper stands up on jump faces and the specific Solo Air system provides heaps of bottom-out progression to help butter the landings. Everything you love in Pike, but cleared for the biggest take offs.
Charge HigherThe most refined damper ever produced by RockShox, acclaimed worldwide on Pike and BoXXer, gets the frequent flyer treatment on the Pike DJ. An extra firm compression tune provides the level of support and confidence required by today’s slopestyle and dirt jump riders. Our trademark Rapid Recovery rebound tune, with beginning stroke rebound adjustment, helps control the landings, while the Charger’s sealed design with an expandable rubber bladder keeps Pike DJ’s performance constant run after run. A low speed compression adjuster makes it easy to adapt to all course conditions, from smooth hardpack jumps to rough slopestyle courses.
Progression Never StopsFor the 100mm travel version, Pike DJ’s specifically developed Solo Air top cap gives riders a highly progressive feel, equivalent to having five Bottomless Tokens installed in a standard 26” Pike, while remaining highly tuneable with additional Tokens. What does this mean? A fork that will be predictable on every take off and landing without ever slamming through all the travel.
Frequent Flyers Welcome Available in 100 and 140mm travel versions, with a tapered steerer and 15mm Maxle Ultimate, Pike DJ is the ideal match for modern and progressive dirt jumping and slopestyle bikes.

the other setings may be good for 4x racers.
Also; this is just a nice way of making a bit more money off the Pike design by lowering it a tad. A different steerer / axle would mean a whole new CSU and lower chassis design. If you make every new product compatible with old standards instead of using the best technology you can then you're always compromising. Of course that's not always best for us.
Give to us the 180 Totem/Domain/whateverthehellyouwannacallit fork. Now! Please
Tapered it stronger and stiffer so I welcome the change to progress the sport. (mainly since I won't be putting any of these on my 5 year old steel DJ frame)

That article is four years old, btw.
@strobltobias there you go
I think most of us have more than one bike. You have to admit it's nice having swappable options.
Or is there no hate bandwagon for the almighty, all seeing, infaliable Pike?
