Upgrade your A1-A2 Pike to the new C1 Debonair Upgrade Kit to bring it up to speed with the latest offerings from Rockshox in their 2021 range. The new air spring has a longer red foot nut and larger lower seal head which act to position the piston higher in the fork, putting it right on the dimple that allows air to move between the positive and negative air chambers.
Ok then, but how does that benefit me? The older DebonAir was still amazing but it could have a bit of a tendency to get sucked down into its travel when the bike was unweighted, so even if the sag and air pressure were set up correctly some riders were finding that they often had a few mm less travel available than they should have. The new air spring will prevent your fork from being sucked down and it will ride higher in its travel than the previous generation of Debonair. You'll get less brake dive and it'll feel better on steeper trails. If you have a 140mm air spring, you'll have 140mm of usable travel, not 136mm or so.
Suitable for riders with A1 or A2 (2014-2017) Pikes. This kit can be used to upgrade your fork to the latest spec, and even change the amount of travel while you're at it.
Suspension travel amount: Options are available from 120mm through to 160mm of travel. The length of travel will vary depending on whether the air spring is installed in a 26", 27.5", or 29" fork so be sure to double-check before purchasing!
