Levo Gen 2 RockShox Lyrik Ultimate ???

[Gary]

Have you read the New Lyrik's owners manual?

Someone kindly turned into a handy animated user video guide

I have fox 36. 160 factory. And lyric rc2 160 in 42 mm offset fox is standard 51mm going Ty try both to compare I will post soon[/QUOT

Which offset did you like better? I am looking for used Lyric and there is a 42 offset for sale on Pink bike.

160 42 reduced offset lyric ultimate on mine. This bike begs for burly suspension. Coil going on next. Anyone running the Marz coil?

On my Lyrik Ultimates 2020 the wiper seals have dark grey color and I don't really like this seals (in comparision with black ones on my previous fork Lyrik Select) as they tend to have a little chamfered wiper edge which creates a little gap between wiper edge and stanchions so cleaning the dust out with only a clothe is impossible. I'm starting to wondering do my Lyriks even have SKF ultra-low friction wiper seals (as stated in Lyrik Ultimate product description) if they are in such dark grey color? Because if I look at replacement SKF wiper seals I see they only come in green color: Purebike

Are you guys using ebike specific forks? Ta

 

[salko]

No. The difference between normal and ebike specific forks is only in a "Add 10 PSI" sticker.

Yep that's why I peeled the sticker off the stock Sektor RL and put the fork on my hardtail.

I have been using the 2020 lyrics ultimate rc2 at 170mm since they came out and love them. I have tried the 150, 160,170 and 180mm air springs and the 170 is the best for me. Flip chip on low gives a 64deg head angle and the flip chip on high gives around 65. With the flip chip on high at 170mm it is basically the same as the 160mm on low but a slightly higher bottom bracket. I ride in Scotland hitting jumps and downhill with the chip on low. And general trail riding I use the high setting. Makes a big difference to how the bike handles and climbs. I am also quicker down many hard sections than my mate on his kenevo. I also used a shockwiz recently and apparently its telling me both front and rear are set up nearly perfect. Can't say how much I love the way the bike rides.

I’ve just bitten the bullet and ordered a 160mm lyrik ultimate in black standard 51mm offset to change our from the standard revelation fork that doesn’t seem to work... just out of curiosity what is the advantage or disadvantage of the 42mm offset?

It is in very simple terms to shorten or lengthen the wheel base to the best of my knowledge. I stand corrected if this is incorrect.

 

[Gary]

It's not as simple as "what's the advantage" really. it's a choice of increased stability Vs steering response between the two.
Bottom line is you'll be absolutely fine with either offset.

It's fashionable to worry about it. But try not to. Most of the folk who now spout pish on forums about fork offset had never even considered it's effect until a couple of years back when they read about it through mtb media.

Yeah. keep standing

i got 42 and 51 mm , the 42 has a sharper feel to steering ,and more stable at speed , but a lot harder at low speed turns switchbacks etc , i was thinking about increasing the 42m to 160mm travel hoping it would put the handling somewhere in between but not sure it would !

no ive been swaping them on and off my levo both lyrik 150mm only difference is one charger and other charger 2

 

[Paulo2020]

I’ve put a 2019 180mm rc2 lyrik on my 2018 Levo and it rides sweet. I’m an aggressive rider and weigh just shy of 100kg kitted up. I’ve got 2 tokens installed. The handling is sharp and responsive and overall I’m really really impressed with them ??

wat type of coil you have?

 

[beerglass]

Just upgrade from select forks to ultimates 2021 on my Levo Comp 2020

Done the rebound and psi what is the best settings for HSC and LSC on first ride ?

 

[beerglass]

rode the bike today with 2 tokens and 90 PSI

Weight 77KG

A few times hit the fork limit and blew all the travel

Anyone got any ideas

 

[salko]

Add more tokens.

What damping settings? What damper? Did you use all the travel at appropriate times?

2.1 damper on a 2021

Used most of travel at appropriate times

Y don´t you use 170mm?

I fitted 160 and found them perfect. 170 changed the angle of the bike to much
