Rode a RS Lyrik today....

Hi there Fox 36 Talas, my name's competition....

Yes, it is....

Loving mine.

heavy, baby...

Didn't notice the weight at all on a Nomad

PS: 08 DHX Air....good, but the new ProPedal lever is confusing and hard to work with gloves.

Actually, I was thinking of the Totem. Oops.

for the travel and insane steering stiffness, the totem is lighter than the alternatives. much lighter than the zoke 66 for example.

I bought the totem back in March. rockshox determined that the o-rings in the 2-step system were not the newer i.e. slightly thicker ones, and decided to ship me a brand new totem as a replacement 'just to be sure'. turnaround time at SRAM: 2 days, plus air shipping. :yourock: gonna break in the new seals on the 7,000 vert foot cannell plunge this weekend. :biggrin:

^^^^^^^NICE. Great customer service, that sram group has.
I wanted a Totem, but I found a brand new 07' Talus 36 air for $400, shipped.
THAT sealed the deal.

I'm still digging mine. :)

Got to work on using faster shutter speeds though.

i just got my 08 1.5 solo air 2 step..... :)

i actually rode mine today... i loved it.... :) never bothered bringing it down to 115, but it climbed really well at 160. there were a couple of times that I got caught up, but that was rider error.

Along with 7" single crown forks, I think adjustable travel 6" forks are the next (or current I guess) wave. Riding a SC Nomad, with the Lyrik at a full 160mm, the bike feels like an all mountain bike ready to hit some downhill singletrack. Drop it down to 110mm and the bike feels like a 4" trail bike ready to pedal. And with the build I was riding weighing in at just over 31 pounds, it will gladly do so.
