160 42 reduced offset lyric ultimate on mine. This bike begs for burly suspension. Coil going on next. Anyone running the Marz coil?
On my Lyrik Ultimates 2020 the wiper seals have dark grey color and I don't really like this seals (in comparision with black ones on my previous fork Lyrik Select) as they tend to have a little chamfered wiper edge which creates a little gap between wiper edge and stanchions so cleaning the dust out with only a clothe is impossible. I'm starting to wondering do my Lyriks even have SKF ultra-low friction wiper seals (as stated in Lyrik Ultimate product description) if they are in such dark grey color? Because if I look at replacement SKF wiper seals I see they only come in green color: Purebike

Yep that's why I peeled the sticker off the stock Sektor RL and put the fork on my hardtail.
I have been using the 2020 lyrics ultimate rc2 at 170mm since they came out and love them. I have tried the 150, 160,170 and 180mm air springs and the 170 is the best for me. Flip chip on low gives a 64deg head angle and the flip chip on high gives around 65. With the flip chip on high at 170mm it is basically the same as the 160mm on low but a slightly higher bottom bracket. I ride in Scotland hitting jumps and downhill with the chip on low. And general trail riding I use the high setting. Makes a big difference to how the bike handles and climbs. I am also quicker down many hard sections than my mate on his kenevo. I also used a shockwiz recently and apparently its telling me both front and rear are set up nearly perfect. Can't say how much I love the way the bike rides.
I’ve just bitten the bullet and ordered a 160mm lyrik ultimate in black standard 51mm offset to change our from the standard revelation fork that doesn’t seem to work... just out of curiosity what is the advantage or disadvantage of the 42mm offset?
It is in very simple terms to shorten or lengthen the wheel base to the best of my knowledge. I stand corrected if this is incorrect.
It's not as simple as "what's the advantage" really. it's a choice of increased stability Vs steering response between the two.
Bottom line is you'll be absolutely fine with either offset.
It's fashionable to worry about it. But try not to. Most of the folk who now spout pish on forums about fork offset had never even considered it's effect until a couple of years back when they read about it through mtb media.

Yeah. keep standing
i got 42 and 51 mm , the 42 has a sharper feel to steering ,and more stable at speed , but a lot harder at low speed turns switchbacks etc , i was thinking about increasing the 42m to 160mm travel hoping it would put the handling somewhere in between but not sure it would !
on different bikes I assume?
no ive been swaping them on and off my levo both lyrik 150mm only difference is one charger and other charger 2
wat type of coil you have?

What damping settings? What damper? Did you use all the travel at appropriate times?
Y don´t you use 170mm?
