Lyrik 2 step air is pretty much perfect, as long as the price is reasonible I'll be having me one of these :)


Holding off on Pike purchase for sure.

Click for more dribble :-)

Why would you want such overkill forks dylan?

Sorry, i forgot you have a freeride bike as well as HT.

Still think they are specialist forks rather than do it all type like pikes & revelations.

unfortunately, the cost of the new '07 line up will be comparable with that of other manufacturers such as Fox, so VFM isn't going to be so great.

Yep, beef up the freerider travel and stiffness wise, but the flick of a switch and it's still rideable up hills :)

Thats it Smidge, depress me :(

*applys for new credit card offer that came through the door LOL *

Except that you get more features for a given price than the equivalent Fox. Even the cheapest Lyrik has independently-adjustable low and high-speed compression damping and the lockdown.

Just seen the Price on Goog's $1050 US $'s, so that'll convert to around £1050 UK £'s as per normal :(


£579 direct change, or £677 with VAT added :(


Fox 36 talas price :(

Mike, cheapest Lyrik Lockout, not Lockdown thats the top model for that.

Whatever. I never use 'em, remember ;-)

Tis true :), main selling point for me.

dyl, what about the magura wotan?

Dunno, anything at all about that.

Travel ?? and does it have a down/lockdown facility, and price ??

Likely go back to Pike U-turns, which hopefully will drop the price a tad.

Certainly a option Mike, found the BM write up on them. thanks

Depending on price, standard Q/R though, hmmm.

Mike D. I agree, plenty more features for the money, but are they really necessary? Some people think so, but my personal feeling is there is too much to adjust.

However, i am getting more and more tempted away from fox over to RS. and when my F100X are at the end of their life i will see what RS are doing and seriously consider them.

I do feel that a large portion of the appeal of RS this year has been their amazing price/performance which seemed to blow everyone else out of the water.

I think RS is better than Fox these days aswell, but I like adjustability, if the 36 Talas's had a lock down, I'd be tempted but there kinda basic for the money.

Rode Reba's recently, 100mm travel, hugged the ground better and felt like more travel than my Fox's, they where to hard aswell so potentially even better.

I do like the idea of the XXT Fox though, I'd like a fork lockouted kinda on descents to keep my weight back more, rather than nearly bottomed out.

( mate locks his reba's out on steep descents for this )

i absolutely love my F100X, amazing fork, super stiff, etc etc etc.

But come 1-2 yrs time when my fork is due replacing, then i will definately reasses the suspension market, its definately not so clear cut as it was at the start of this year.

Okay it's not fair comparing old Vannila to brand new dual air RS Reba, but the Reba has it at the moment.

The vannila was once the best, and I've upgraded to the 05 damper aswell which improved the fork abit.

How can you compare a 130mm coil fork with an 85-100mm racey(ish) fork????

Thats like comparing Apples with Lemons.
