I see a lot of complaints here that the new Lyrik isn't 26" and 20mm thru axle.
#Shreddage x pinch pro
If you doubt it remember that those pro enduro racers are better than you and their axles aren't failing on them. 20mm Axles are overkill for most riders (aka you). Shadup! This fork will be better than anything available 5 years ago and will run with the big boys just fine.Ģ6 is on hayatus. So a quick request after that brief rant. If this fork is the pike writ large it will slay everything you can throw at it. People actually compared the pike to the 36 and called them equals!!!! That is like having the revelation outperform the 34 (which some people say it does). RS had the pike out with no competition worth trying until this year when fox announced the 34 rebuild and xfusion announced a new damper. Is there anything else that keeps this from being a short boxxer? So a little flex in the next step down won't hurt you either. You know how I know? Because if they ride the boxxer they like a little flex! Otherwise they would be on a 40. 05% of riders can tell, but most of them don't care. If you think you can you are lying to yourself. Don't be happy about it, but seriously do we have to hear the same stupid crying every time a 27.5" specific part comes out?Īs for the short boxxer vs long pike thing: Did you take one too many blows to the head? The only difference is the axle diameter, and you can't feel the difference. But instead they shrunk the flanges to keep the dropout spacing so as to make it easier to switch over, as many frames/forks came with both disc mounts AND v-brake posts. What should have occurred when discs came about as a industry wide feature 15-17 years ago was widening the dropout spacing instead of shrinking the flange spacing. Also disc hubs all lost flange distance to make room for the rotor on the hub shell, which made for #1 dished wheels and #2 loss of wheel strength/stiffness.
20x110 used the same flange spacing as 9x100 or 15x100, that's something a lot of people don't get. 15x110 is doing something that 20x110 didn't do already, offer improved hub flange spacing for a stronger/stiffer wheel, something that's more important as spoke lengths increase (as they do with 650B/700C wheels).
#Shreddage x pinch full
We'll be getting back to back testing time on the Pike and the Lyrik in the near future – stay tuned for a full report on how the new fork handles.ġ5x100 wasn't done to lighten a fork (except compared to doing a 20mm axle version), it was done to offer a more reliable and secure connection that a QR skewer and open dropouts with 9mm axle ends. The weight difference between a 27.5” Pike and a 27.5” Lyrik is 144 grams (.32 lb), which isn't a huge variation, especially if the Lyrik is as stiff as RockShox claims. Traditional end caps will still work – Torque Cap compatibility simply means there's enough room at the dropout for the larger diameter end caps to fit.
Torque Cap is what RockShox call their new end cap design, which has a much greater amount of contact between the end of the hub and the fork dropouts in order to provide more stiffness. Other features of the Lyrik include a Boost 110 option, and Torque Cap compatibility. Versions of the Lyrik using a Solo Air spring (Dual Position options are available as well) now have an larger negative air chamber in order to increase the fork's small bump sensitivity. The damper's basic construction remains the same, although the cartridge seal are now manufactured by SKF, as are the fork's dust wiper seals. RockShox's bladder-based Charger damper has proven its worth in the Pike and the Boxxer, so it only makes sense that it's found in the Lyrik as well.
