November 6, 2018October 25, 2018 by Xan Marshland

2019 Rockshox Lyrik RC2 Fork

September 28, 2018September 26, 2018 by Noah Bodman
Noah Bodman reviews the Rockshox Lyrik RC2 for Blister

Updated forks and shocks are often cases of evolution rather than revolution. But the new Rockshox Lyrik RC2 provides very discernible improvements over prior iterations, and you don’t need to be a world-cup-level racer to appreciate them.
