I’ve only had it for about a week and a half, but I’ve got the 2021 Pike at 130mm on my new Evil Following. I set it up pretty much at Rockshox recommended settings to start. It felt pretty shit. Front end pushing in turns, bad small bump compliance, etc.
First I tried lower pressure and jam-packing it with spacers...sorta worked. Felt great going fast and shit going slow (climbs, tech bits, etc.).
Then I tried the opposite. Rockshox recommended pressure and rebound but with NO spacers (came stock with 2). Completely different fork. All of a sudden it was amazing.
I guess that because the new spring rides higher in its travel and has more ramp up you don’t need as many spacers to keep it from blowing through the travel.
For reference I’m 210lbs kitted up and am at 105psi and 7 clicks of rebound
