Experience the legend.
Ultra-versatile, super capable, lightweight on the scales, heavy on the attitude—this is RockShox Pike. Not afraid of the rooty chutes. Unintimidated by the calf-crushing climbs. RockShox have updated their trail-capable legend with the new Charger 3.1 RC2 damper.
Along with vibration-killing ButterCups, this damper offers better traction, comfort, and control. With more tunable range, Charger 3.1 enables riders to set up the perfect suspension action for their preferences. A fork designed to level up your trail game.

DebonAir+ | Why change a good thing? To make it unbeatable! DebonAir+ is the result of the tireless search for optimum air suspension performance and an outstandingly consistent ride feel you can rely on. Compared to the predecessor system, not only has an aluminum piston been used to optimize the air chamber volume, but also the positive and negative air volume themselves have been adjusted for each fork depending on its application profile. The spring characteristics have also been revised: the fork compresses more readily and feels correspondingly smoother without losing support in the middle of the spring travel. It not only responds more sensitively to small bumps, but also features a higher ride height so that every millimeter of travel can be used effectively – for more confidence and control on rough trails.
Charger 3.1 | Reducing the strain on the hands is the prerequisite for more control and safety when riding at high speeds. The basis for this is the high-performance Charger 3 platform, which was already characterized by incredible consistency thanks to the "Internal Floating Piston" (IFP) and offered an independently adjustable compression damping. In the new expansion stage, clever internal improvements now make it possible to increase the range of settings for low-speed and high-speed compression. While the open position in the LSC circuit reduces damping through a lighter oil flow in order to absorb low-frequency shocks and vibrations, the closed position in the HSC area provides firmer damping in order to offer even more support and support. An extended adjustment range also means more room to achieve the desired sweet spot and therefore the perfect ride feel.
ButterCups | The golden solution. Thanks to their low-amplitude material, ButterCups filter out 20 % of unwanted vibrations before they even reach the rider's hands. High-frequency vibrations are in turn absorbed by two rubber pucks on the golden mounts at the end of the damper and air spring before they pass through the fork into the handlebar. In this way, the ButterCups not only reduce overall hand and arm fatigue, but also provide better feel and control on the trail.
Bottomless Tokens | These volume spacers are used to influence the spring characteristic curve. By inserting the tokens, the air volume is reduced, which not only leads to a smoother response of the suspension fork, but also means a higher final progression.
SKF Wiper Seals | Minimize friction! Keep dirt out! Working with SKF, the experts in seals, RockShox succeeded in developing the ultra-low friction Wiper Seals. These reduce effort and provide an unparalleled chassis feel while keeping the fork safe from contaminants.
Maxima Plush | Both the Maxima Plush Fluid and the Maxima Plush Dynamic Suspension Lube are characterized by their friction-reducing effect. While the damper oil also minimizes damper noise, the lubricant convinces with properties that not only extend the durability of the fork, but also improve its performance.
Scope of supply:
suspension fork incl. star nut, thru axle (Maxle Stealth), mudguard (Bolt-On) and 2 air volume spacers (Bottomless Tokens)
