Very tempted by the many forks on sale ATM. Currently running RS 35 gold on the lecky bike. Round the muddy fields and gravel of North Oxfordshire they are fine. Take them to 417 or Northampton BP they aren’t great. You can literally hear them go oof (along with my brain) on a drop or flat landing.
Anyway, Yari at £200, basic Lyric £300, posher Lyric £390 all chiggle.
Will I notice the difference between the Yari and the cheaper Lyric? Not in a great position money wise so what about an activated carbon jobbie for the 35 and put up with it.
My fancy bike is a second hand SWORKS Enduro with posh suspension so I’m probably a bit spoilt.
My Kenevo had 2018/19 Lyriks until I upgraded to Fox 38's
They will have been a similar spec to the current cheap Lyrik Selects at a guess. They served me well for 5 years.
I bought a set of the Selects for my Ragley but not ridden it much in anger yet
Personally, I'd probably go for the basic Lyrik. The motion control damper isn't great (possibly the same as what the 35 already has) and upgrading the Yari to a Charger damper would cost more than £100.
