Wiggle have the Yari RC 160mm 29er fork for £159…
Or 140mm travel for 78.99 https://www.wiggle.com/p/rockshox-35-silver-r-coil-boost-fork-oe
Perfect, thanks @markgoldstein. Ordered. Ideal upgrade for Mrs a11y's big bike.
Shame the 27.5 ones aren't available...
Mega bargain. Ordered.
Lyrik Ultimates (2.1 damper) are £340 inc 29er
Just ordered the 29" 160mm travel Yari and the price had dropped to £139! Shame to be benefitting from Wiggles' troubles but hey, what a bargain. Too good to be missed.
So I wanted a gear hanger for my £130 Vitus singlespeed, just in case.
The hanger was £9.99 and I was looking for something to add to the order to get free postage.
I've now ordered a set of Yari forks for £139 just to get free postage. Man maths at it's finest 😂
Oops 😬

I need that hanger too, got a URL?
RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 Debonair Boost Fork
£278.99 for 27.5 and £342.99 for 29
Just asked in Wiggle's chat but they won't price match the earlier price to the £20 reduction. Just luck I guess - still happy with the £159 price!
Get another one and send the first one back. In fact you could probably sell the first one for £200 in the spring to make the second one £100 or so.
Thx for the PSA. I put one in the basket at £159 and within seconds, and before I had the time to check out, it went down to £139.
Can the 29 version be extended to 180mm travel? I think since the Zeb was introduced, the Lyrik is max 160mm but these look like a slightly older version.
Good PSA. Thanks.
Don't need them right now, but they'll be cool for a possible 2024 project and price too good to pass up.

I think these are the older ones with more range. That said the Zebs are very cheap too.

£286.99 Zeb 170mm 29er 44mm offset
any good ?
Those deals are crazy. That's nearly the price of a basic service if you are posting forks off.
The ultimates are an even better deal I reckon.
Whoops, just ordered a Lyrik Ultimate...
Less than a service and damper upgrade for my current forks!
Thanks for the PSA, ordered a Lyrik Ultimate since my old fork has seen better days. Bloomin' cheap upgrade for my old hat 27.5" Nicolai!
It's barely worth getting forks serviced at the moment.
@horatiohufnagel, is that Zeb R really that bad?
I was eyeing one up to replace a 5yr old Yari RC with a Charger 2.1 RCT3 damper upgrade, as I fancy the stiffer chassis at 160mm (or possibly 170mm) on my Geometron. Do you think I'd regret it, unless I then also added a Charger 2.1 or 3 damper? (at an extra £250-300).
Can the Yari RC 160mm be adjusted to 130mm? Looks like it can by changing the changing the airspring.
Would it be a worthwhile upgrade to Gold 35 RL on a Scandal. Needs a service kit anyway so seems like a cheap upgrade.
They've got dozens of those 27.5 lyriks so they might go even lower, or back up again, that's the gamble, already a ridiculous price. Best thing about these is they can be upped to 170/180mm without going the extra 300g of a Zeb.
Where are you looking? The 27.5 Lyrik ultimate is showing out of stock for me.
£278.99 for 27.5 160mm Lyrik: https://www.wiggle.com/p/rockshox-lyrik-ultimate-rc2-debonair-boost-fork-oe?color=black&wheelSizeTravel=27.5%22+%7C+160mm+Travel&axleSpacingOffset=15mm+x+110mm+Axle+%28Boost%29+%7C+37mm+Offset
Cheers. Oddly I looked at those this morning, and by the time I'd pondered them, they'd gone out of stock.
And now back again.
I've ordered one cheers.
Thinking I'll put it on a bike I'm going to be selling, so that I can keep the fork it currently has.
The combination of this forum and the demise of Wiggle/CRC is costing me a small fortune…ordered

Similar thinking's led me to buying 'bargain' wheels and other bits so I can keep the good stuff from a bike I plan to sell next year. Problem is I've now almost got enough to build an entire extra bike...

But how much is it saving you? 😉

I'd also like to know the answer to this. The travel adjust part anyway. Anyone know?
Zooming in on that lyrik top cap tells me it's not an ultimate, hopefully it's just for illustration purposes, and those green decals are coming straight off, getting some eBay specials for £6.50 in a more suitable colour 🙂
I very much suspect they're incorrect photos - I've zoomed in on the cheap Zeb Rs and on that one there's a compression adjust dial which that fork shouldn't have.
Slight hijack but I have an unused C1 140mm air shaft taken from a brand new Pike Ultimate if any good to anyone for a favourable price 😉
Yeah, pretty confident you can use a Yari/Lyrik/Pike airshaft to drop to 130mm travel.
Stick the serial number in the RS app when it arrives to confirm.
Excellent, thanks 👍
@a11y yes it's bad. Check the diagrams on rockshoz site. They've removed the compression damper from the RC model. They dive too much so I tried to compensate with fast rebound and higher pressure but it's not ideal. I ended up upgrading to the bladder type damper from a select plus Zeb.
It might just be… what’s your interpretation of “favourable”?
The Pike/Revelation airshaft does not fit the Yari/Lyrik chassis, they are different diameters.
I’ve bought the Lyrik Ultimate 29 160mm and will need to lower the travel to 140mm or 150mm. £350 with next day delivery is a bargain.
But why is it so hard to work out which air shaft to buy? There seems to be 3 options, one is red and grey, one is red and black, and (I think a Debonair plus) is gold 🤷♂️
I think I’ll wait until they arrive and just take out the air shaft to see what it looks like before ordering another
