well on paper the pike is over 1lb lighter has compression ajustment and an optional
bar mount lockout ans an internal floodgate (whatever that is)

Both forks have external travel ajust (manitou 120/150mm) (RS 95-140)

20mm axels

external rebound. the Pike appers to be the better fork but I find if somthing does break RS parts cost alot more than manitou parts

The recall was on static, flow and some others. Its not a big deal, it was caught before any of the forks made it into the US. You can just look for the sticker that says its been fixed on the back of the fork.

my friend got the chase 2 and it comes with the stance blunt it bottoms out like crazy on the smallest things even to landings and it absorbs all of ur momentum on the djing i would go with the pike. also the recal on the stance line was only for tire clearance and that was fixed on all of them alread.

How much does he weigh? does he have the correct ride kit in it?

he ways 140 and i way 130 and it absorbs way to much!! it need to be stiffer and what do u mean correct ride kit all i know is he bought it from a store so i figured it was setup right and everything and there a trustworthy store.

I dont believe they have made stiffer springs for the Stance series yet since it is soo new. But when they do come out, you could always just get stiffer springs and thicker oil.

Marzocchi is good...but thats not what he's asking about. The new Rock Shox Pike looks sweet, or if you really wanna drop some dough, go with the new Fox Fork 36. haha
