[Closed] Rockshox Pike Ultimate - RRP vs actual cost

as soon as bike manufacturers release the unused OEM forks they have in stock but never build onto bikes - so when model years/colour schemes change?

The old Pikes have barely been consistently that price for the specs that people actually want.

New RC2 Lyriks have been out for nearly a year now & they have just about crept down to £700ish, so I wouldn't be expecting anything anytime soon.

It's only the odd offset models which haven't been cheap. Just buy the correct dampener and change the air spring length accordingly

Lyriks are showing on Wiggle for RCT3 27.5 £569

Pikes have been under £600 or ages and often can be had for under £500 again for 27.5 RCT3.

RCT3 is the old model in the new chassis, which no one wants any more, the RC2 model are all ~£700 still (which was the model I was talking about).

I'd wait. manitou are releasing a couple of new forks this year. 37mm offset mattoc pro in a couple of months and likelt a larger diameter offering on the 11th of this month. They are also currently testing a new shock as well (possiblly a piggyback macleod)

Im with Poah, Manitou all the way. The new stuff is just so good and an absolute bargain. There are more brands than RS and Fox.

So TF tuned already have them for £820

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered some Lyrik Ultimates from TFTuned for 10% off retail, should be with me next week. 🙂

As I said above, I ordered a 2020 Lyrik Ultimate from TFTuned on Tuesday, 10% off RRP. Arrived two days later (Thursday) and rode them at BPW today (Friday)! TFTuned even cut the steerer to length. Amazing service, thanks TFTuned team.

thanks TFTuned team.

If my Cane Creek shock experience is anything to go by you’ll have good backup in the future too
