RockShox Lyrik Ultimate Charger 3.2 RC2 27.5" Suspension Fork E1

RockShox Lyrik Ultimate Charger 3.2 RC2 27.5" Suspension Fork E1 is the latest version of RockShox's long-running trail fork, rebuilt around a new 35mm chassis and Charger 3.2 damper. The redesigned damper separates its high-speed and low-speed compression circuits so each dial adjusts independently instead of bleeding into the other, giving you a cleaner distinction between small-bump compliance and support on bigger hits. RC2 tuning means both compression circuits are externally adjustable alongside rebound, so you can dial the fork in for your local trails rather than living with a fixed factory tune.

Inside, the fork runs RockShox's new Linear XL air spring, a tube-in-tube design that increases overall air volume and runs at higher pressures than the outgoing Lyrik. The tradeoff is a smoother, more coil-like feel off the top of the stroke with added support in the midstroke, without giving up access to full travel on bigger compressions. An Air Annexe channel vents trapped air out of the lower legs to keep pressure from building up as the fork cycles, and Adjustable Bottom Out lets you tune bottom-out resistance in the final 20mm of travel independent of your air pressure, using a 5mm hex key. On the Ultimate tier, RockShox adds ButterCups at the damper and air spring to cut down high-frequency vibration before it reaches your hands, along with updated internal lubrication to keep the lowers supple over time. Available in 27.5" with 140mm, 150mm, 160mm, and 170mm travel options, this fork suits trail and enduro riders who want a chassis that stays composed on sustained rough terrain and rewards time spent dialing in the compression and bottom-out settings.
