Hi as the title asks. For not so much more can get Lyrics. Main consideration is I weigh appx 94kg naked. So, just for the extra stiffness, is it worth it?
There are other benefits I know. Any chunkier stw natives experience the difference? Ta in advance.

Same choice recently.

Went with lyrics as thy are less popular and thus cheaper than pikes on the used market

I was surprised how cheap Lyriks were when I was searching for Pikes over the last couple of weeks, probably for the same reason suggested above, they just aren't as popular.

That's not to say they aren't better, but the Pike is more of a 'go to' fork, which means the models above and below are devalued a fair bit.

Have lyriks on one FS, pikes on the other. Lyriks are a step up in performance.

Yeah get the Lyriks if you're a big lad.

Not massive myself, but I can feel the benefit at about 80kg kitted up.
