The Rockshox Lyrik RCT3 170 mm fork is the offspring of the formidable Pike and Boxxer forks. Offering a burly chassis and more travel options, this will become a firm favourite of vthose who ride or race hard in big terrain. The Lyrik features the world-famous Charger damper, offering easy control over compression adjustment, and brings new innovation in the form of RockShox’s Torque Caps, which enhance hub contact to increase torsional stiffness. Fully Boost-compatible the Lyrik can also be tuned with RockShox’s class-leading Bottomless Tokens. For those of you that ride so hard that the amazing Pike is not tough enough, here are two pieces of advice: the first is that you are crazy, and the second is that you need a Lyrik.
