RockShox Pike Ultimate Flight Attendant 29" Suspension Fork C3

The RockShox Pike Ultimate Flight Attendant 29" Suspension Fork C3 pairs RockShox's automatic suspension system with the Pike platform, built with 140mm of travel on 29" wheels and a 44mm fork offset. Flight Attendant reads terrain and rider input through a suite of sensors and automatically shifts the fork's Charger 3.1 Flight Attendant damper between open, pedal, and locked settings in real time, so you're not reaching for a lever mid-ride. This version adds a fork-only update mode for hardtail builds and a customizable Auto Mode that lets you disable the Pedal or Lock positions if you'd rather Flight Attendant toggle only between the settings you actually use — RockShox says no other suspension system on the market currently offers this level of rider-specific personalization.

The fork runs RockShox's updated DebonAir+ air spring, with a larger negative chamber for improved small-bump sensitivity, paired with ButterCups at the crown and lower legs that RockShox says cut high-frequency trail chatter by 20%, reducing hand and arm fatigue on long descents. Tapered-wall 35mm aluminum upper tubes run through a 1.5" tapered steerer and 15x110mm Boost thru-axle, with bolt-in torque cap adapters included for standard hub end caps. It clears tires up to 81mm wide, runs rotors from 180mm to 220mm, and ships e-bike approved with a short fender included. For riders who want their fork making real-time damping calls on mixed, technical trail terrain instead of a manual compression lever, this is RockShox's top-tier take on that idea.
