Hi,
Has anyone had some trail time with a MRP Ribbon fork. I’m considering this over the venerable Pike. Reviews seem positive, with plenty of trail tuning options to fiddle about with and generally get confused with 🙂
Any real world feedback appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy
I’ll haved had a ride on the coil version hopefully by the end of the weekend. No help to,you know but I’m looking forwRd to it
Cheers batman11.
Feel free to let me know how you got on with it. It is the coil version I am considering!

No experience with the ribbon, but I love my stage! Like a pike but with better small bump sensitivity, and the ability to essentially add bottomless tokens whilst on the trail!
One thing to consider though is Ison seem to want to do all maintenance in house, so you'll need to have a contact in a bike shop or be very good at twisting their arm if you want to get hold of parts, seals etc. off them. On the flipside, they have very long service intervals so you probably won't need to work on them regularly at all
Official MRP service centres are:
TF Tuned
Plush
Sussed Out
and of course Ison

I've never had a problem getting seal kits, wipers etc for my stages from lbs. To service the damper a proprietary tool is required, hence the need to send off to ison for that, but I've never had it done in nearly three years!
How are people getting on with these? I just bought a pair tonight to replace my luffkapped pikes. I hope they're worth it!
