not to derail the thread, but i'd be curious as to if you feel the Lyrik is much of an overall improvement or difference from the Pike in general. i have a Fox 36 on the AM bike and going back to my trail 29er with 140 for has me wanting for the front end performance of the other bike... wondering if a switch to Lyrik 150 would do it.
Same situation when I ride my Smuggler with a 150mm Lyrik (2016 Model) compared to the 160mm Fox 36 Evol on my LT 29er.
The Lyrik just feels harsh in comparison.
I bought a 2018 Debonair airshaft (140mm) for the Lyrik and some Formula NEOPOS spacers. But I haven’t had time to fit and try the modification yet.
Will report back. 160mm of plush travel are really nice. Even though shorter travel bikes are hyped and fun!
