I am looking to upgrade my Flow 24 with a new fork. I'll be using it for FR and some DJ . I weigh 140lbs and am a fairly smooth rider. I've been looking at both these forks. I've had Marzocchi's before and have loved the feel of the HSCV cartridge but am interested in the weight, and adjustability of the PIKE. I've never ridden one but have heard great things. Any suggestions would be great.
Oh. I'd be looking at the 2004 Z1 with 5 inches and thru axle vs. the PIKE Race with the steel steer tube and top mounted motion control adjust. They'll both be around the same price, with the PIKE being a bit cheaper, but not by much.
