Let’s look at what’s new and what’s been improved on the new fork from RockShox before we get into our initial ride impressions. This approach to testing was not only useful for gaining a baseline experience to weigh-in on when figuring out exactly what the new fork accomplished over our personal setups, it also let us feel right at home on our own bikes so we could learn the track, before trying to learn the new fork.

Another interesting thing RockShox did was have us ride our own fork before bolting on the new Lyrik, so we could experience the same trail with the same bike and have the fork be the only differing factor from run to run in an effort to highlight the differences between our own setup, and the new fork. RockShox approached this media camp a bit different from the norm, having select journalists from our sport's leading publications ship their personal bikes in ahead of time in an effort to allow us to focus on the task at hand, riding the new Lyrik, as opposed to getting used to a completely new and foreign bike. With a variety of terrain ranging from steep, technical and natural trails, to flowy machine-built park style trails littered with huge berms and fun jumps, topped off with some of the most beautiful landscapes and views we've ever seen, we jumped at the opportunity to make the journey to this mountain biking paradise called Retallack in order to find out what the new RockShox Lyrik is all about.

We couldn't have asked for a better testing ground for the new RockShox Lyrik, which was launched just weeks ago. Retallack, BC, is one of the most epic backcountry mountain biking destinations in Canada with over 6K of descent on seemingly endless trails accessed by both van and helicopter.
