ok, I do dirtjump and street, and I do some little drops but not much. some local guy (not a scammer) offered me a choice between both for a cheap price. they are both the same price. Please donot say " get a dj1" or anything like that. I am not positively getting it so dont ask for pics or anything. oya and the argyle is solo air.

For the argyle I've been told to get the 318 because of less setting and because the Steer Tube is not made of Aluminium so harder to bend !

I think he's only been given the choice between these two.

Pike 454 for me...

Argyles.
Pikes are Am forks, do not get them.

one can't claim one is way better than the other... they're for different applications... as our friend above has mentioned, the pike is an AM fork and the argyle is a DJ fork, stick with the argyle, you'll be glad you did...

i'm sure an argyle would hold up to a 10 ft drop... they're not weak forks, in fact, they're heavy, they're overbuilt... before i even started buying FR parts, i used to do 6 foot drops, to FLAT on a cross country bike... i'm sure your argyle will be able to handle it

Hey, Get the pike 426 or 454, I have been runing the 426 for some time and it has held up so far. I have done some drops like stairs and stuff but highly recomend the PIKE. Good Luck.
