Overview

Any trail, any time. Lyrik is the fork that’s light where it counts, ruthless on the descents. The all-new LinearXL air spring delivers a coil-like ride—supple off the top, supportive through the mid-stroke, and backed by Adjustable Bottom Out (ABO) for confident end-stroke control. Found only in Ultimate forks, ButterWagonTech ensures a constant supply of oil to the bushings, reducing friction and maintaining smooth performance throughout the entire service interval. Intuitive HSC/LSC controls on the Charger 3.2 damper with ButterCups technology make setup fast and easy to communicate.
