Whats better 2008 Fox Vanilla 32 RLC or 2008 Rock Shox Pike 426 Coil U-Turn for dirt jumping and riding park?

Question

I want to get a new fok, but i want one that will last a long time with all the dirt and skatepark riding i do.

Answer 1

Get a rock shox argyle for dirt jumping. Manitou has alot of problems with customer service.

Answer 2

I'd vote for a Manitou Gold Label or a RockShox Argyle for that stuff.  If you really want more travel, then go with the Pike over the Vanilla.   Park riding is tough on suspension forks, but these should do you pretty well.  For jumping they'll do great.   Have fun!   :o)

Answer 3

I would look for a dirt jump fork.
