Holiday-Ability-4992 on February 12, 2025 1:44 pm Rockshox lyrik ultimate would go well with that bike, especially In their moss green color
throwawayworries212 on February 12, 2025 1:46 pm Both will do great, but the new rockshox damper is aboslutely fantastic, and the top spec model will be cheaper than Fox Factory.
