RockShox Pike B1 & B2 2018

The B1/B2 Pike was a complete redesign of the A1-A2 Pike.  It uses the 35 mm stanchions but changed threads, air spring details, brake mounts and was only available in boost with the charger 2 damper.  Major internal change is spring and damper sizes are the same across both wheel sizes. A1-A2 used longer shafts for 29" wheels.  Visually it has a scalloped front to the brace and recessed air valve cap.
