Have looked online for setup info but no joy from Google. What base settings are others using? Set the sag to 30 percent with the compression damping all the way out and this felt very plush and controlled.As things have loosened up it now feels a little soft,thanks in advance. 🙂

25% sag and 3 clicks of rebound damping. No tokens in the air chamber is fine for me so far.

Just heading down to the LBS now to put the order in. We were a bit unsure if I could get the xd driver for my e13 trs+ wheelset. But it's all go now. I'm actually really liking forward to it now. The wallet is taking a bashing tho.

Your riding style, set up preference and trail conditions will have a bigger impact on whether you need tokens than just your weight.

Do you want the fork to feel more progressive? If yes fit token(s). If you don't want to make your forks more progressive don't fit tokens.

Does anyone have a couple of the red Pike bottomless tokens they don't need? All the usual places seem to be out of stock as the moment and my forks didn't come with any. e-mail in profile if anyone can help. thanks

Yeah I'm about 14 I think but I found I was using all the travel on medium to large drops despite running 80psi
