Maybe the 2010 Pike has been redesigned. I haven't heard that, but its possible.
I removed my 2008 Pike coil and had about 7mm crown clearance when totally bottomed as I recall. And the arch had about 5mm. Plenty. No spacers needed. My Lyrik is slightly tighter clearance than my Pike at the arch.
Maybe they were thinking of the Fox 32 forks which do rub the crown with a new Neo-moto 2.3 if you are able to bottom one (no one seems to be able to bottom within 3/4 inch without modifying the Fox 32 forks air or coil).
