Prototype RS Lyrik RC2 DH leaked
- Thread starter tacubaya
- Start date
heh... riiiight.
is this a bad joke?
gotta say the all black look, (black stanchions and lowers) looks kinda cheap to me (not saying it is cheap) but i'm not a huge fan of that fork aesthetically....who needs a 200mm single crown fork, and if you say steering you better be riding the tightest most hairpin trails because no one turns their front wheel THAT much
That much leverage is going to start snapping stuff.... Not a good idea I think 180mm SC is a good stopping point then jump to dual crown for support...
Where did you guys figure out it had 200 mm of travel? It doesn't.
And considering that a Totem is as tall as a Boxxer, this must be taller than a 05 888.

I think you're right. I think they would have gone for the Totem 40mm stanchion too.
Yeah but for the Bikes-as-Jewelry crowd, that's not an issue. The only threat of fork snapping those dudes hand out is when they drive into the garage with the bike on the roof rack.
Gotta be a hoax, Fox uses the RC2 stuff, not Rockshox.....
it's Ross Schnell's new BlackBox 170mm Lyrik.
move along...
move along...
but someone said it was 200mm's!
It's not 200mm travel. Just look at the shadow, it's clearly a 140mm. Besides, i spraypainted my stanctions black after the Maribor WC, old news.
OK really though, i love my Lyric 170 DH and have been tempted by Kashima...I want slippery tubes!

Why does the arch say RC2? If i were playing a hoax i'd at least make the stanctions GOLD!
i wonder if it will get the new knobs like the Boxxer is getting
All of the new RS stuff has RC2 in the name. A bunch of the new forks and shox are up on the QBP site. The Boxxer race is now the Boxxer RC2, the vivid 5.1 is the vivid RC2, the air is called the Vivid Air RC2 and so on...
RC2 is not "stuff" it's an abbreviation. It means 1 rebound adjustment and 2 compression adjustments.....if the damper had two rebound adjustments and 1 compression adjustment they would call it R2C.....get it?
R2D2 ......
So the Vivid 5.1 should be Vivid R2C then..or CR2? Doesn't the Vivid 5.1 have 2 rebound and one compression adjustment?

So if that comes out, think it'll be sold as the 17th model of Lyriks available? Ahaha.
