Hi everyone.
I have a Reign SX with 170mm front & rear travel that came stock with a Domain R that I have upgraded to RC by adding the Motion Control damper but still I am not that happy especially since it is a really heavy (2.9 kg) fork.
Anyway I plan to buy another fork and I am between the Pike 27.5 160mm and the Lyrik DH 170mm. The Pike is considered as one of the best forks avaialble and I am thinking about the 27.5 160mm version in order to keep the same a2c and why not maybe in the future I can convert it to 27.5. On the other side the Lyrik is a great fork as well and it comes with a 170mm version so no additional changes are required.
Considering that I am mainly an AM rider and quite heavy (110 kg but plan to lose a lot of weight) what would you suggest? Ideally I want a plush fork with good small bump sensitivity that could also take big hits when necessary. I just wish there was a Lyrik with the Pike charger damper but there isn't one. Should I better wait for 2015 for Rockshox to present their new forks?
Thank you in advance.
