5.15 uncut steerer + axle.
yeah but look at the trends theres a lot of people runing sub 5lb forks for dj/street without problems me being 1 of them
I can easily get my 4x under 5 lbs...
well my pike 454 coil sits in the scales at 4.7lbs
cut steerer, maxe lite, is all i have done

I hope you mean 4.7...
Your PIKE 454 was also ~$250 more than a 4x.

Yeah but I'm not talking trade. Many people who work at my LBS demand that a 4x is sitting beside fox, nothing above the 4x besides fox and I would agree. Both pike I have ridden felt terrible.

id have to disagree my pikes felt super plush out of the box and feels really solid on the trails, i have heard alot of stories of 4x creaking after time etc but then people say the pikes are too soft so each forks has its good point and bad points,
i think it comes down to brand preference iv had no problems with rockshox so ill be sticking with them on all my future bikes

I've had problems with both companies, my drop off broke, but it's a drop off.. I've seen many a pike snap as well as 4x.

In your opinion... please, would you stop quoting me? Your on my ignore list on mtbr and if pinkbike had the feature you'd be on it too, so let's pretend your on my block list, and shut up when it come to me.

Don't drag me into this, but....you're both really convinced your own opinion is right. Much like watching a polar bear try to hump a boulder, it's funny to see and a little grating.

I don't like him, he doesn't like me, we both know it. But he doesn't need such a shit disturber.

guys, dont flame, pike is an all mountain fork, its amazing,
marzo 4x is a 4x/dj/street fork, also amazing,
IMO you cant really debate this, ones lighter, ones stronger,
ones 250$ more, ones this colour, its all personal preferance,
for example, i think the best fork of all is my dj2?
cuz its bomb proof, although white (n)
thats my 2 cents
