Date Reviewed: June 12, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Plush travel, adjustments that work, Maxle, 2 step | | Weaknesses: | Pretty expensive if you pay full retail price but so are all the other forks. | | Similar Products Used: | Marz z-1 light, Marz 55 ATA | | Bike Setup: | Intense 6.6, PUSHed Dhx coil, | | Bottom Line: | At the beginning of the year I picked up a Marz 55 ATA. Like so many others I spent as much time fixing it as I did riding it. I then picked up a Lyrik 2 step. I had wanted a Lyrik but knew the early model 2 steps had some problems. I called Rock Shox and was assured that the 2 step problem had been resolved so I bought one. I have to say this is a great fork. The seperate high/low speed compression adjustments work and I really like the 2 step feature to shorten the fork for steep climbing. I'm not a freerider but have done jumps and drops and the fork is very plush. I also really like the Maxle, so easy to use. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 29, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Porcupine Rim | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | 2-step travel adjust is amazing and easy to flip the lever for climbs...
Stiff, Easy to adjust /dial in, Plush when needed, Looks awesome (Mine is Black) | | Weaknesses: | None so far...just make sure you check the PSI because your LBS won't set it correctly...take the time to dial it in to your needs... | | Similar Products Used: | Fox Talas RC 36 | | Bike Setup: | 08 Nomad, 1.5 Steerer | | Bottom Line: | MTB reviews option for reviewing are poor so...
I am a freerider, had the fork for a little over 1 month
Compared to my old 36 I am super happy with it, stiff when I need it, easy climber with bonus mission control, great descender. Easy manuals for info on set-up. Easy to dial in.
So many features and they all work...imagine that!!
Highly recommended 6 inch travel fork!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 24, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Steed Cycles | | Strengths: | After '09 internals - SOO PLUSH NOW! Feels perfect in 115mm mode as well. | | Weaknesses: | Had to have it warrantied... see previous reviews | | Bike Setup: | Nomad 1.5" head tube, heavy build | | Bottom Line: | Ok, got the fork back a week before a trip to Moab (thank you Norco Warranty Dept!). Found out later that it had the 2009 internals put into it.
The fork is F*CKING perfect now!!! More plush than it has ever been. This was my only complaint about the fork, now it's fixed. Yay!
A Note: Took the bike to Moab. If i didn't have a 2-step, it would have been too much bike for alot of the trails there. Having a fork that worked SO well in either setting made it feel like the perfect bike on every trail.
4 chillies on value, just cause it's so damn expensive. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 23, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | came with bike | | Strengths: | 160 mm of travel, plush feel. Once I figured out how all the adjustments work I am appreciating it more. Love the 2-step feature to lock the fork down at 115mm, and it just eats up rocks and drops | | Weaknesses: | none so far, too many adjustments if anything. | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Remedy 8. Rp23 fox float, shadow xt derailur, xt shifters and brakes | | Bottom Line: | Great fork, makes going downhill fun and climbing tolerable. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$500.00 | | Purchased At: | t bay | | Strengths: | Nice travel light
Finish is great
Air two step works a treat | | Weaknesses: | Done the same as the review bellow
damming has gone nuts !!!!!
I lost all high speed compression damping first just before a ride.
thought it was ok just a stuck adjuster rode it and it felt mike there was huge stiction.
Then it all went went wrong from there it will bottom out under backing but feels totally solid to ride. | | Bottom Line: | Mine went bad but i know people that have been free riding these for 6 months !
Interested on hearing what your problem was. as im a poor student and cant afford to fix then at the moment. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: April 18, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Bike Setup: | Nomad | | Bottom Line: | another follow up...
Last weekend, did a pile of riding, and the fork was feeling great. Went to adjust sag tonight, and the fork took on the wierdest feel ever. Slow, Gentle pressure could almost bottom the fork. It feels like there are two spring rates, but inconsistant... Taking it to the shop tomorrow. This better not happen when i'm in moab next month... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 5, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Steed Cycles | | Bottom Line: | This is a follow-up.
It lost about 10mm of travel after the 4th ride. I deflated it completely, pumped it back up, and it was back up to full travel.
Most of the stiction is now gone, but I think I've been spoiled by 8 years on Bombers, as the fork still feels a bit sticky. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 27, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | no duff, starfish, peat bog... lots | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Steed Cycles | | Strengths: | Two-Step is so cool. seriously. Bike seems to have two distinct modes. Very stiff. light-er. Will be fun to tune. There have been few complaints about rapid warranty service. | | Weaknesses: | Unproven track record. Last year's had mixed results. I haven't broken it in yet (I hope), but it seems to have far more stiction than my ole' super-T's. I'll follow up on the break-in. Pricey | | Similar Products Used: | Marz98Z1(1yr) Marz'99QR20(3yrs), Shiver SC(2yrs) | | Bike Setup: | Nomad sram xt frankenbike, and lyrik 2 step, naturally | | Bottom Line: | No one else Optimistic about the claims of a Fixed 2-step?
Only time will tell, but i certainly hope so.
Stiction brings it down to 3 chili's, but 2-step cool-factor brings it back one. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
