Yeah but it's not a very good one. if I were you I'd ride the stock fork until it breaks and then upgrade it to a goldlable or an argyle.

well the frame is meant for 100mm so obviously 130 would be bad. It will ride better with the right size fork.

If your doing freeride and dh then obviously the stuff is not good bike for you. Just buy something that's actualy meant for what you want to do instead of spending money to make the stuff something it isn't.

You are all just talking about travel, did anyone stop and think, the travel of the fork doesn't affect you HA, it's AC height that does... some 100mm forks are very high, and on the other hand esp. pikes as far as I know are pretty low for their travel.
