    which fork its better?

    Manitou Mezzer Pro if you can get hold of one. Amazing fork & very underrated. It’s as stiff as a 38 but weights bang on 2kg. It’s easy to set up & self service unlike Ohlins which would be my second choice

    Will a lyrik damper fit into a pike fork?

    What’s the difference in travel between the two forks? 10mm more on the Pike might be enough to protect the damper from over compressing at full compression
