every fork brand uses its own thru axle design, and includes one of those axles. so as long as the specs for your hub match the two, then just put the wheel in the new fork with its new axle.

 

I just put a new Pike Ultimate on my bike. It came its own new axle. That's all you need.

The QR style thru axle that came stock with the Recon fork on my bike is now in the spare parts bin.

 

In the world of thru axles: Forks comes with axles. Frames come with axles.

 

Thank you, that’s exactly what I needed to know.
How do you like the pike ultimate?

 

Compared to what it replaced it's amazing. 1.5 pounds lighter, much stiffer (holds lines through chunk/turns), and now that it's dialed, far more plush in the small chatter - no more numb hands. And it handles the big hits a lot better as well. Great fork but I'm a Rockshox guy so don't have much experience with Fox forks.

I paid $900 and two weeks later it was amazon for $733 lol. Still totally worth it.

You can get the stock fork offset from the manufacturer's website I'm sure. My SC Tallboy was 44 (42?) mm. RS offered the fork in that and 51mm offsets.

 

Also one other question someone might be able to help with. I can’t find what the fork offset is on my stock forks (suntour raidon 34 boost 130mm) that came with the stance. So I’m not sure weather to order the pike in 37mm or 46mm offset. Anyone know or have a suggestion? Thanks!

 

I just swapped from a rockshock to a fox fork and had to replace the proprietary torque endcaps to regular ones, your mileage may vary.

 

That's an odd reason to replace a fork. They don't affect function, at all, if you're not running them.
