DVO D1 vs Lyrik+ACS3 & HC97

[Shinn]

I've narrowed down my search, I'm buying one of these two. I think...

Anyone owned or used both? Thoughts? Which would you choose?

I'm on a Levo SL going to 160mm.

What is wrong with current setup? Why the change? Not had the Lyriks but had a Yari with Smashpot coil & Yari Up form fast suspension 170mm 27.5 fork so pretty simular on my E-Sommet, awesome fork but was heavy! 2.6kg have now mulleted bike with Manitou Mezzer Pro much lighter fork & still very stiff & well performing, I think the Lyrik would end up being too heavy on front of an SL!!

the weight of the lyrik with the ACS concerns me as well. as does the DVO but the DVO is not much more than the rhythm 34, I'm interested in its OTT as a friend loved his but more moving parts worries me too. I found an article claiming 1950 for the stock 34.

I want a bit more travel and small bump compliance as my elbows get very sore when riding the kind of trials I want to ride.

Had a 36 fit4 on my Haibike, the rhythm just isn't as good in a number of ways.

Great choice. Now you need a Topaz T3 for the rear.

I've just fitted one and the small bump is amazing... i reckon its also too soft off the top and i might add some negative spacers
