The Lyrik RC is the cheapest fork in the range, using a version of the Charger 2 damper that has external rebound and low-speed compression damping adjustment. Just not sure what the best settings are for rebound, high speed & low speed compression. This sucker can be had with up to a monster 180mm of travel and in 27.5in wheelsize version too.
With a new Debonair air spring, the 2021 RockShox Lyrik is easier to live with and better on the trail, but best of all the upgrade is backwards compatible. Like I mentioned earlier I like the feel of the air spring in the Lyrik. High speed compressions happen when you hit a root, rock or drop off a ledge and the shock has to compress quickly to absorb the abrupt impact. Although they all look similar, each has its own unique characteristics that can be fine-tuned to fit your riding style. This sucker can be had with up to a monster 180mm of travel and in 27.5in wheelsize version too. While there is only low-speed compression adjustment on the fork, the Charger damper seems to do a great job of eating up high-speed compression events. Designed not only for the race down but the also ride up. Since the Charger damper performs best with a lighter low-speed compression setting and fairly fast rebound, being able to dial in the progressiveness of the air system is paramount. If the smoothness of that transition is improved, as happens in both models, in the RockShox Lyrik and the RockShox Pike DebonAir, the feeling also improves. Charger RC features an extruded bladder design that allows you to adjust low speed compression anywhere between fully open to firm.
Having 0 high speed and a lot of low speed might result in bypassing the low speed compression, so while testing you might want to dial them both off / fully on in sync to keep things simple.
The amount of LSC you want to run is a personal choice. Reducing the Lyrik's travel is as easy as turning the dial on the left side of the fork. With a new Debonair air spring, the 2021 RockShox Lyrik is easier to live with and better on the trail, but best of all the upgrade is backwards compatible. WHAT DOES HIGH SPEED COMPRESSION DAMPING DO? If the smoothness of that transition is improved, as happens in both models, in the RockShox Lyrik and the RockShox Pike DebonAir, the feeling also improves. Mind you "high speed" refers to the rate of fork travel, not the speed of your bike.
Brand: RockShox, Product: Lyrik Ultimate. Low and high speed compression are adjustable individually on the top right side of the fork.
Out on the trail, I’ve been impressed with the Lyrik. Hey Guys, in this video I wanted to share with you my 1 year experience with the Rock Shox Lyrik RCT 3 160mm.
Holding onto every critical line, Lyrik Ultimate features the new Charger™ 2.1 damper for unmatched trail control and precision. I have recently purchased a new Lyrik coil u turn fork. When this happens, the oil flows very quickly and with enough force to bypass the low speed … The Lyrik RCT3 adds in a three-position compression lever with The 2018 RockShox Lyrik RCT3 in 150mm 29er guise. ... in the case of ROCKSHOX, Bottomless Tokens and Bands.
