I was in visiting my friend at the bike shop the other day when I noticed this new fork. Upon asking he said, " It's the new Rock Shox, and they are discontinuing the Judy." I thought the Judy would have been the back bone of the company, in that it appeared so versatile. I understand that they were bought out by sram, and that some things have to change. But the Judy? I remember when that was my first real upgrade in a fork. Call me sentimental. I ride a Duke now, and I really hope they don't discontinue that fork. I dig it like a ditch. As for the Pilot, has anyone else seen it? Looks a wee bit flimsy, compared to the Judy counterpart. Perhaps they haven't released a new replacement yet. We'll see.:confused:

Getting rid of the Judy makes sense to me. I think they might be trying to make the beefier Duke their less expensive upgrade of choice. A good way of upscaling the overall image of the Rock Shox name. Possibly.
