  • If you want better performance from your RockShox Lyrik, Yari, Pike or Revelation, you can easily upgrade your fork’s internal parts to transform your mid-level fork into the top-tier Ultimate fork!
    In this video, we’re going to show how you can easily change a few parts in your current fork to have that top shelf performance without having to drop a bunch of dough for an entirely new fork.

    I already did this with Pike 140MM and i cant believe the difference, especially in hand fatigue and the bump sensitivity is amazing-- it feels as if i am cutting through those small bumps v going over them...just so smooth.

      Did the same on Pike, did you have to lower psi dramatically to obtain sag? I’m sitting at 50 psi to get 15 mm. Thanks for the feedback

    Hey Mike, I upgraded my 2017 Pike RCT3 to the Charger 2.1 damper and went from a 150mm spring to a 160mm Debonair spring. Very happy with the results.

    • @fyttirackarn
      @fyttirackarn 2 года назад +1

      I ordered a compatible 160 mm Debonair for my 140 mm Pike in hope to extend the travel 20 mm.
      How did it work for you extending travel 10 mils? I guess the oil damper still is it's original length, or how does that work?

    I have upgraded my 2018 revelation fork (35mm) with newer debonair spring and dampener Charger V2,.1 and yes, I can feel the difference, now it has better compliance, and shock feels way more sensitive on small bumps. The only cone it got heavier, not really a con, but a fact! But I am happy with this upgrade.

    Anyone watching this with an A1-A2 model Pike... RS stopped selling the latest Debonair upgrade for our forks, but you can buy the older debonair (thin red seal head) and add a "seal head upgrade" for a lyrik or whatever as long as its 35mm. with a 12mm wrench and an 8mm allen key you change the seal head and footnut to give yourself the latest Debonair air spring.

    I have a 2019 Revelation, which damper upgrade is best for me, the Charger 2.0 or 2.1? Also, since I am seeing 2021 upgrades released, is it better to get the 2020 upgrade which might be at a bargain now? Is the 2021 a marginal upgrade that would have diminishing returns?

    For a 165lb rider looking at the pike and lyrik 29. To put on a SC hightower (150mm.) for mostly trail use, occasional enduro trails. Would it be worth saving the 1/3lb and going for the pike or at 29 150mm will their be a noticeable difference in flex for trail use?

    Hi, I've just upgraded my Revelaton fork to Pike Ultimate using SRAM Damper Upgrade Kit - Charger 2.1 RC2 Crown High Speed, Low Speed. The first impression is shocking! Is it not possible to lock this charger almost to "zero". On the Revelation I was using the Lock positoin while uphills and the fork was almost stiff. I am trying to lock the charger and it doesn't work. Is there something wrong or the charger does not have lock option? (I hope it does have!)

      Meteor Media the thing that's nice about rockshox is that they do a great job of making services doable by anyone with even some mechanical aptitude. I can't say for sure theyll be compatible since the gold 35s are an older model of rockshox but chances are there's an upgrade kit out there for them. they are 35mm stanchions though which means you'd likely have an easy time fitting either rc2 damper in there which are what come on pikes/revelations. rct3 dampers probably wouldn't work tho as those are meant for lyriks/yaris

    Hi I was wondering if you could help me I’m starting to get in to downhill I have a mondraker summum but can’t decide what rear shock to get between the fox dhx2 or float x2 I’m around 210lbs and bit worried about bottoming out on the float x2 hopefully you could help thanks

      I am not much of a techie, but are you 210 with or without gear. I ride with about 15 lbs. of gear which makes a huge difference when initially setting up a shock. I would think tokens would help you. I do ride with one bigger guy who runs a coil in the rear.

    I have a rochshox pike 2014 dual position, with upgrade: debonair and charger 2.1 rct3. I don't understand the 200hr service kit that I have to buy for my fork, do I have to buy the one for the charger 2.1 (code: 00.4318.025.120) or the classic one without considering that I have updated it (code: 00.4315.032.618)?
