get the argyles. althought the pikes are a really good fork, they are not designed for dirt/street. i know lots of people use them but they are not made for it. so get the 318's.

The Pike may not be made for street but at least it didn't break like my argyle did. Bent the steer and cracked the lowers.

I prefer the pikeSmile
I have a 454 pike and I like it much better than the argyle I rode before

the bulidingheight(I don't know the exact word for it, I'm a stupid german xD )of the argyle with the same pitch of spring like the pike,is higher

I hope you understand meBig Grin Big Grin Big Grin

As much as everyone likes to say the Pike was not meant for dirt jumping. I am currently beating the shit out of mine on dirt jumps and I have not had a single problem with it. The adjustable travel on the Pike is key, and the Argyle is just plain ugly. The Pike 426 will work just fine for dirt jumps or whatever else you want to trow at it. Sorry to everybody rocking the Argyle's on their bike.

depends if your a good rider n your flowy but if your falling off or casing there no good the will not stand up to it so in that case the 318's r much much better
