I’ve got slightly older Revs- same chassis but a few damping differences. TBH it’s a bit complicated to answer. The Lyriks are noticably stiffer, but personally I’m not all that bothered- I weigh 10 stone and I’m not that bothered by a little flex, as long as it’s not too much.
But, the lyriks do just perform a little better for harder use- more damping control, and mine are coil vs air in my revs. Which isn’t as big a difference as some would have you believe IMO but it’s still an advantage.
Also my bike just suits the longer travel- if there was a 160mm Revelation I’d have to consider it.
So no simple answer but they’re both great forks, very capable. I’ve never done 4x, for dh the Lyriks are more suited and I reckon the Revs wouldn’t neccesarily take too kindly to that sort of use all the time- they’ll do it but they’re not as sturdy. it’s goign to depend on how you do your dh to be honest! I’m not particularily hard on kit, or all that quick,ymmv.
