There is no question to answer here that can’t be answered better by YOU!

I built my Pitch with Lyrics on the basis I’ll have a hardtail with sektors for more mundane stuff.

As for 150/160mm, take a 5p coin, stand it on it’s edge, wonder if that much movement is really going to make any real difference.

Dual position Revelations….. then spend the difference on cocktails

Be aware that 160mm forks like Lyriks and 36’s (and Deville’s I think) add 20mm to the fork length over a 150mm fork; 10mm for the additional travel and 10mm more for the bigger/beefier crown. This can effect the geometry so it’s worth being sure you really want the bigger fork.

I tried some Revelation forks on my hardtail after hearing good things about them. For the first few months I got on fine with them and was even thinking of trying them on my AM bike… they were pretty good even in the gnar although the flex was a bit disconcerting… but then it rained loads and I found that when push-came-to-shove-came-to-deep-muddy-ruts I was struggling to make the bike go where I wanted it to. I don’t scare easy but that day scared me… the Rev’s were fine on good trails but as soon as I took it to my more usual mud wrestling I wanted/needed a beefier fork… so I sold them on and I’m now running 36’s and 55’s which give me the beefy goodness I desire… which meant changing my hardtail frame to get one to suit the longer fork

I don’t do Talas or travel adjust forks… wind out your forks for the doonhall bit and you’ve just raised your bottom bracket and fubared the handling (IMHO etc)… poor crutch for a bad design… run the correct length fork even if that means running a Fox 36 at 140mm of travel 8)

But you possibly will notice 20mm 🙄

wham bam 36 Vans.
