[Closed] Weight difference between pikes and revelations?

Reckon I'll be needing one of these if my 130mm forks wont work with the new build I'll be doing in the next week or two.

Ideally I'll be trying a lightish build so can anyone tell me the 'proper' weights of air pikes and air 140mm maxle revs.

Yes, I could do with losing a few, well more than a few pounds but if there is quite a difference in weight in the forks I'd prefer the revs....

Thanks in advance

Well I can offer you a pretty accurate weight for the Pikes as I just happened to have given them a weigh on my digital scales...

RS Pike U-Turn Air 454 195mm steerer: 2012g (No Maxle but with Hed Dr installed) + 143g Maxle = 2155g Total

cheers nuke.
rs, I would be looking at 2nd hand but would be interesting to see if the forks did actually weigh that? 😉

I like the look of that fork... 32mm stanchions, 140mm travel... Hang on, I have a set of Pikes anyway.

if it helps:

the 2009 Revelation seems to be a Pike with thinner steerer tube and a maxle lite - good deals can be found BNIB if you search around

that Sektor looks nice - whats with no black forks these days????

hi Si!

I found a site called 'weight weenies' but I don't know how acurate the figures are or if they have the stats for the components you want. It looks reliable to me.
