Currently running 2010 Van 36 RC2 160mm on my Intense 6.6 and looking for something lighter with a tad more travel.
What's the current STW suggestions?

Marzocchi 55CR. only 35g heavier than the lyrics and a lot cheaper.

In 170, that's my choice too. Great forks, very stiff, DH cartridge so open and active. Basically a mini DH fork but lighter than the old Pike 454 (140mm 'trail' fork).

I've got some excellent condition Lyrik RC2DH in 170mm 1 1/8th that might be for sale - email in profile if interested. Serviced, spare seals and brand new pump and include a 160mm base plate.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look into the Lyrik's and 55's 🙂

Not sure on weight, but I'm running 55 rc5 ti forks. Very plush:) I got some 2013 ones (same as 2014) for £550 with some searching
