i have a reign that i am fixing up, eventually i am going to get a nomad but was wondering what your thoughts were on getting the 36 talas or 454 u turn pike. both forks are sweet but the fox is a bit more complicated to work on also i need and air fork as i will be racing with it

I've got a nomad and run a 36 talas. Don't know that much about pike's, but my fork works awesome with my bike.

Wouldn't a fairer comparision be between the 36 and a Lyric? Not sure what I would choose though...

The Pike is a pretty short axle to crown for a Reign. I'd get the 36 for that reason. Like CM said, a Lyric would be a better equivalent of the 36.

I just got a pike on my 6 inch travel bike and love it. Though if I wouldn't have gotten such a good deal on the pike I might have considered the 36 more.

Get which ever one is a better deal they are both near the top of the performance food chain.

36 for the Reign

MS MSP, I see you have a talas 36 for sale, what sthe asking price?

I've owned both...454 on a 5-spot, and 36 Talas on an SX Trail. The Talas blows away the 454 for a small weight penalty. Plusher, stiffer, and with the 3 settings can be run to feel just like the 454 at 130mm (but stiffer), but then also have the downhill feel at 160, and climbamania at 100mm.

36 Talas costs more...lot more.

I have a 454 on my reign and am trying to figure out how to justify spending the money on a 36. The 454 works great for the AM, xc stuff but I can't help but imagine how well the geo would be with the 36.

cool i was looking at the lyric 2step air but the forks are really expensive like 1000+ retail but i would get a deal. I am probably going to go with a 36 talas plus they work well on a nomad
