The Lyrik is back, fresher than ever. Filling the big gap between the RockShox Pike and the BoXXer, the burly single crown fork will go up to 180mm of travel in 27.5″ size, and 160mm for a 29er.
If you’re still shredding trails on your 26″ RockShox Lyrik, you’ll now be able to give it a refresh with the new internals available as an aftermarket upgrade option – The Charger Upgrade Kit.
The Yari is a completely new fork, with a more basic internal keeping the price down. With travel options ranging from 120mm up to 180mm plus a Dual Position model, this fork looks like a lot of boing for your buck.
