Key Features

• 35mm chassis is at home on the trail - satisfyingly stiff, playful, and light.
• Already proving itself on the podium with multiple wins during the 2021 season, Charger 3 is ready to meet the masses.
• Charger 3 features an all-new Internal Floating Piston (IFP) design that offers more consistency through the stroke and truly independent adjustments that reduce harshness and increase control without any “cross-talk”. Featuring High Speed Compression, Low Speed Compression, and a revamped Low Speed Rebound, every click is exact and meaningful. Dial in your perfect ride experience without a second guess. No sacrifices and no hesitation. This is Charger 3.
• ButterCups block 20% of high frequency “trail chatter”. Limiting these vibrations massively reduces hand and arm fatigue leaving you feeling fresh with more control.
• DebonAir+ air spring is built to strike the perfect balance of what riders really want: a butterlike small bump feel, increased air volume to add support throughout the travel, and higher overall ride height for more confidence when things get steep.
• Ultimate Bushing Package maximizes bushing overlap, reducing friction and creating the smoothest ride possible.
• Pressure Relief Valves eliminate unwanted air pressure build-up in the lower leg caused by variations in altitude or temperature. With the press of a button, Pressure Relief Valves restore that premium fork feel.
• Maxima Plush Dynamic Suspension Lube reduces friction, lasts longer, and enhances suspension performance ride after ride.
• Bolt-in torque cap adapters now included for use with standard hub end caps.
• Lightweight machined and anodized crown for premium looks and durability.
• Available in Ultimate High Gloss Black or Signature colourway Gloss Silver.
• Ultra-low friction SKF wiper seals provide long lasting fork performance and improve overall suspension feel.
• RockShox premium short fender compatibility. (RockShox bolt-on fender sold separately).
• Maxima Plush damping fluid reduces friction and silences damper noise.

Ultra-versatile, super capable, lightweight on the scales, heavy on the attitude—this is the new Pike. Not afraid of the rooty chutes. Unintimidated by the calf-crushing climbs. Rockshox have redesigned the trail-capable legend with a new 35mm chassis equipped with podium-proven technology like the new Charger 3 damper featuring vibration-killing ButterCups. A fork designed to level up your trail game. Experience the legend.
