So for all intents and purposes I have a Pike with slightly heavier weight (and therefore stronger?) stanchions. I can live with that.
I think I need to let the air out my Fox forks and see what travel I’m actually getting out of them too. The ring has been pushed up to about 130mm but I’ve not done any huge jumps/drops so not getting all the way to the 150mm travel they’re meant to have might not be the end of the world.
Would a 130 fork have a shorter a2c than a 150? Or does it just not compress as far?
That enduro-mtb article says they share the lower casting. From the specs, I think Pike has internal tapered stanchions to shed a bit of weight. My final answer is they upgraded air spring and damper and called it a Pike even though it began life as a Revelation. Travel you'll have to work out as you say by letting the air out.
