I'm about to pull the trigger on a new bike and I'm deciding between a Lyrik Ultimate RC2 or a 36 Grip 2.
There's plenty of articles that compare them in term of performance with the common theme being that the Lyrik is slightly better in the small bump smoothness and the 36 being slightly better in the repeated big hits.
However there's very little comparison in terms of how reliable they are and how easy or hard they are to maintain.
From the manuals it seems that the 36 requires a damper service every 125hrs and the Lyrik every 200.
However I'm not too experienced in this area so I'm not sure what it entails.
In essence both forks seem to perform similarly, what I'm trying to figure out is which is easier to keep working that way or is more prone to failure.
PS Im aware that there is no hard data and I'm just looking for user experiences.
