I've seen quite some news over the last few months about the new products RS have for the 2011 season but not much on some products that got launched recently.

The new fork lineup can be seen >>here<< and the new shocks >>here<<.

Is there anyone here that had a chance to test the new R2C2 and RC forks aswell as maybe the Domain double crowns and Vivid Air?

Seems like the R2C2's are already available on the market, would consider an upgrade if its worth the cash difference

The weight savings for the air shock are tantalizing, but I'm skeptical about the performance. Have any non-sponsored riders had any time on it?

They went from 16 or 17 models of Lyriks down to 4 and killed the Pike. Meh.

it be nice if they put their fork model lineup in better order on their site

Should have a moment of silence for the death of the Pike. I'd be confident saying its one of the best mountain bike products ever made.

Amen... Lets hope that between the sektor and Argyle RCT they do a better job at of being a true all mountain/dirt jump/4x/slope style and general play fork. Its a tough ask though.

The problem was the Pike was too cheap. Tough to sell the Lyrik next to it. Not sure how the Sektor fits in. Looks just like a Lyrik to me.

I can't decide which boxxer to get. The ROFL is lighter but the LMFAO has a few more adjustmentz

I wonder if it would be possible to retrofit the pike u turn to the Argyle RCT?

The Sektor is more like a pike, I'd say, with the 32mm stantions and all that, just slightly more travel.

the argyle rct looks familiar..... like it was a different fork just last year........ hmmmmm

but really, my pike is hands down the best well rounded, functional fork i have ever owned, it can be fitted on any of my bikes from my xc hardtail to my tazer and feel at home. it been rebuilt once in its life time and im the 3rd owner with no issues. zero. it doesnt leak and it hasnt blown up like so many older manitous. as far as im concerned it changed how trail fork were viewed, it was to the mid 00's what the z1 was to 1998. rest in peace

Get the R2D2 one and the C3PO shock.

I actually had someone yesterday tell me that they were getting the new R2D2 Boxxer!

I think it's pretty much inevitable.

haven't paid much attention to the sektor, but curious how they are reaching that low msrp with it? i.e. it has alloy steerer, usual damping, etc.
